Hi
. You concerns upon receiving a diagnosis are completely understandable. The good news is that, with a Gleason 6, your cancer was caught early, which opens a lot of options. Some with a Gleason 6 opt for active surveillance, which is a type of monitoring very early, slow growing cancer. This article from our editorial team provides additional information: https://prostatecancer.net/treatment/active-surveillance. If you do opt for treatment there are multiple options and this article gives an overview: https://prostatecancer.net/treatment. Your doctor should be able to provide additional information and, when it comes to prostate cancer, it is always an option to get a second opinion to go over results and treatment considerations. Please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing. Best, Richard (ProstateCancer.net Team)
