What does "This abuts the prostate margin over 6mm" mean?

Yes - He said “I don’t really get into the radiology” and that he’s “just looking for the score” and that “it’s the pathology that’s going to tell us what to do”. And that myelocytes in the free blood “have nothing to do with prostate cancer”.
However, that doesn’t answer my question so that’s why I posted the inquiry here.

I had a skilled but flippant Urologist who did not answer all my questions. It does not seem uncommon in the Urology field. I got alternate opinions (test types and doctors) throughout the prostate cancer process. You might want to consider the Decipher test. It uses your biopsy material to evaluate the modes of treatment and the aggressiveness level. Doctors DO use it to adjust recommendations. I also got a MyRisk genetic test, again from the biopsy or as a spit test to see if the material indicates an active type of gene that might indicate a possible issue for your sons or daughters (i.e. brcca1) in the future.

The answer from your urologist is shockingly flippant and makes him sound either uninformed or unconcerned. Try to get a radiation oncologist to look at the scan results and answer your questions about them.
