Appointment with Dr. Dwyer for my blood work results. My PSA is 2.3. He did a DRE, found no change since the first time he saw me nearly two years ago. Because he feels there isn’t enough difference between where I am and where I might require treatment, he plans to schedule another biopsy for September or October. He said that based on stats, 35% of active surveillance patients will require treatment, 65% won’t. He wants to keep me in the 65%. All I can do is maintain a healthy lifestyle so that if I did require treatment, I would be able to handle it well. The biopsy in the fall will determine our next plan of action.
