Harry, you are an inspiration. Who is the "cut it out crowd"? Patients, urologists, or both? How close did you come to surgery? How many years have you been on AS? The Active Surveillor.

Always appreciate your passion for our cause. We have similar medical histories. You’ve done the all-important work of organizing and representing. I’ve posted many thousands of comments on online forums, mostly countering the “cut it out!” crowd. Newly diagnosed men are caught in waves of confusion and conflicting claims. At least, many are seeking opinions.

Can’t wait until more accurate diagnostic tools are available, which should remove any doubt about men being safely in AS.
