Do some research. Gleason 6 doesn’t have to be treated right now. You can go on Active Surveillance
Suggest you go on YouTube and search Gleason 6.
Can look up Prostate Cancer Research Institute. They have podcasts that discuss this diagnosis. Was it a random biopsy ?

Yes, random biopsy but after a nodule was felt during DRE. My urologist told me it was "nothing", but now my PSA has jumped from 4.3 to 6.4, so I'm waiting to talk to him again.

Thank you for your reply and support- It was a PSA on 4.6 during a regular check up , I don't have any symptoms but I know this can be go to the next phase anytime- I'm only 55 years old and I'm not sure what he will offer in my appointment this week so that's why I'm trying to get as much a feedback from you who confront this health issue already - I'm grateful that I have this support group
