Depends on the stage at diagnosis. If you have localized prostate cancer, I agree with you, you are probably good to go. A few years ago there was a recommmendation by a group of physicians (generally not urologic oncologists) to stop routine PSA testing in the US due a high rate false positives and 'over treatment'. This action has led to a dramatic increase in patient having metastatic prostate at initial diagnosis. Metastatic prostate cancer will give you much more than just stress, bone pain for instance.
