¿Operarse o no de la próstata? La decisión de Paco

Twelve Years with Prostate Cancer Without Treatment: Paco's True Story and His Experience with Active Surveillance In this video, we discuss what it's like to live with low-risk prostate cancer without surgery, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy, and why active surveillance is now one of the safest strategies for certain patients. Paco shares how he received his diagnosis, what his doctors explained to him, why he decided against surgery, how he has lived these past 12 years with regular checkups, biopsies, and MRIs, and what impact this has had on his quality of life. If you are familiar with active surveillance, have been recently diagnosed, or have had a different experience, I encourage you to share it in the comments. Your story can help other patients who feel lost.
