Recently received prostate cancer diagnosis: need a second opinion.
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Dec 9, 2024 | Replies (30)Comment receiving replies
I'm 67 I was on active surveillance with a gleason score 6 for 2 years, after mri and pet scan followed by biopsy of the exact location of the cancer, my new score was 7 4+3 my psa remand the same around 6.2 for the 2 years. Dr told me I was probably a 7 back two years ago. Very important to get mri and pet scan so they can get a accurate gleason score and to determine if cancer has spread. I had proton radiation at Mayo in Rochester Mn, 5 treatments only, 2 weeks. They told me a Dr there has it down to only 5 treatments with great results. I stayed at the HOPE LODGE free which I can't say enough about. My recovery has been great, really no side effects. All systems working !!
Good luck to all.

I recommend that all patients get a 2nd or 3rd opinion of their biopsy results .
Take mine : 1st Transperineal MRI Fusion Biopsy : The Result - Negative , no cancer .
2nd " " " " : " " - Gleason 3 +3 = 6 in all the same 6 target area cores as Biopsy # 1 . A 2nd opinion upgraded the cancer in all the 6 target cores to Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 . a 3rd opinion also changed to : 4 Cores Gleason 3 + 3 = 6 and 2 cores to Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 .
NO CANCER IN ANY OF THE 10 CORES TAKEN OUTSIDE THE MRI TARGET LEISON.
What number do you pick ?
