Gleason 6 But high decipher score.

I want to echo this advice from retireditguy. Dr. Walsh's book is a must-have for valuable information. I was diagnosed with aggressive Gleason 7 (T1c) at 53 (2.2 PSA) and I'm having surgery next week. My decision was based in part on my age and the increased risk of cancer recurrence in 20 years with radiation, I'm hopeful that I caught mine early enough to remove it all with surgery. But as you surely know, the side effects are scary. Educate yourself and get a few opinions. It sounds like you are on a solid track for success. Good luck!

Why not radiation?

My husband had his surgery at Mayo in Phoenix seven weeks ago. He is doing great! His pathology came back and he was upgraded to a Gleason 9. Lymph nodes were clear and we are so thankful he chose surgery! Best of luck to you!

If you have any questions as far as preparations and what to expect after or helpful things we did just reach out!
