My husband was Dx with Prostate Cancer 7 years ago. His age was 74 and he decided to wait and watch treatment. He has been on Avodart and Flomax during the years and his PSA's have been 3.7 up to 7.8. His last PSA was 4.89 or 9+ using the 50% Avodart measure. His Dr discussed whether it is time to do something other than wait and watch. He is now 81 and wonders if doing anything at this age will really prolong his quality of life or just continue to wait and watch. He is healthy and very active but is on a pacemaker. Any suggestions?????
