Glad you got confirmation for doing AS and hope you're on for a long time. (Like forever.)

I think you're also running into the part of medical specialities where everyone knows what they do and don't know as much about other therapies. Hence, your uro saying they don't do brachy much any more, and your RO saying that cyberknife has less SEs than regular EBRT. (Presumably the RO doesn't do cyberknife or SBRT.)

These are the things you have to sift through for yourself, but in your case you have plenty of time and, as I said, hopefully you never have to make these decisions.

Here's to a happy and healthy 2016 for you and four great PSA scores for your husband next year!

Rock on!! - enjoy the AS blessing as much as you can, when you can. For now, let tomorrow be tomorrow.
