Hi Dave,
I was diagnosed in January with a gleason of 6 and a PSA of 6.9. I am only 47 and decided that the only choise for me was the robotic procedure which I had in July after eight weeks if am feeling like my self again except of the sex part but I am giving myself a year. My brother went to his doctor when he was 40 and had a PSA of 4 he did not go back for two years and at 42 had a gleason of 8 and needed 40 treatment of radiation therapy. If you are in your 40's 50's or 60's I woul recommend having the cancer taken out it is not going to go away.
