Fortyodd, the management of your relatives case appears reasonable, (most men over 80 have prostate cancer) but caution, LR's situation is slightly different.
LR, it sounds like your current situation with your prostate, is causing you some confusion. Watchful waiting is a reasonable strategy in some cases, but it sounds like that you havn't had a firm diagnosis (via needle biopsy), yet?
As already expressed by obs g, you will need to take specialist advice on this, it's unlikely your GP will have access to the tests, and interpretation of the results, that they will have.
Keep us posted, ginge.
