Thanks so much for your quick response. That is excellent news - glad you are doing well. I was told by Doctors if contained and low Gleason 7, intraductal doesn’t escape prostate? Did you have any other adverse features in pathology? I think intraductal is only aggressive with higher Gleason score? What did your Docs tell you about it? Stay well and I appreciate your support and responses!!

Yes, I did have other adverse features. Cribriform was present. I also had bladder neck and seminal vesicle invasion which is why I was classified as Stage 3B. However, all margins were negative and lymph nodes were clear. After my biopsy and prior to surgery, my doctor said that she was treating me like a Gleason 8 because of the Intraductal and Cribriform even though I was technically a Gleason 4+3. She was able to do the surgery within about 8 weeks after my biopsy. I remain hopeful that the cancer was caught just in time. Stay well too!
