The reason they are reluctant to aggressive treatment is because risk of side effects that affect quality of life, such as impotence and incontinence. Do you want to wear a diaper for the rest of your life or live with a relatively low risk of earlier death from cancer?
Many years ago incontinence was a side effect but it isn’t common any longer as surgery has gotten better.
The story of how they discovered the nerves they were cutting that causes impotence is kind of crazy, because for years it is basically like nobody even looked into it. Then one day someone decided to and they figured it out pretty quickly. That was in 1982.

To make a point, you are quite literally asking someone with elevated PSA, whos father died of prostate cancer, if they want to wear a diaper.
