Wow, thanks for sharing your experiences. While my lesion was graded PI-RADS 4 and was 1.7 cm, I was quite surprised that a core from the lesion was negative while another random core was 3+3. I am definitely seeking a 2nd opinion. Thanks also for the book suggestion.

As I noted in my lengthy response .
Get a 2nd opinion of your pathology result and confirm your Gleason Score .
DO NOT RUSH OUT AND SELECT A TREATMENT ( A KNEE JERK REACTION ) YOU MAY LATER REGRET .
You will not die tomorrow . You probably had the cancer perhaps 10 years or more . You have lots of time to make the right decision . Answer the question " DO YOU FEEL ANY DIFFERENT TODAY , KNOWING YOU HAVE CANCER , THAN YOU DID BEFORE YOU KNEW
I'll bet not . You will have a better appreciation of this disease after you "STUDY " Dr. Walsh's book .
Good luck .
