Is da Vinci robot surgery right for my prostate cancer?

Anyone know of the Da Vinchi surgery option. I have 3.4 psa, 3+3 Gleason

Should I wait on ADT or restart treatment now?

Im debating what I should do. I have gleason 7 4-3, Decipher 62. I had proton therapy and 6months ADT, finished both 4mos ago. My psa was 9 pre, then post ADT it was .98. A moth ago my psa was 1.75 and my tess went to 145. My Oncologist wanted me to do another 6mos ADT, but I decided not to do another 6mos, due to my concern that it might be over treatment, and the side effects for me were maxed. Now that my psa is at 1.75 my Oncologist is really pushing me to get another 6mos. I want to wait a few months to see what the trends truly are, because psa and tess were expected to rise, maybe not this much, but im still under the nadair x2. Am I being unreasonable to wait a few more months until i get another psa?? Anybody have any thoughts. Would appreciate feedback. Thanks
