I don't see where you offended anyone. Surely did not offend me.

I just saw a poster giving your Gleason score. We all type in numbers all the time with mistakes.

If I was going to make a post reference your Gleason score knowing if it was a total 7 or total 6 would really help me post my experience.

I think you are right on with panic mode. That is why many of us suggest doing second and third opinions. That gives you different voices and time to decide what is best for you. Doing research is good but does not replace the professional advice from different urologist and R/Os.

May I asked what was your Gleason score? Did you have your prostate removed?

My Gleason was 3+4=7. And was told intermediate risk and recommendation radiation with hormone treatments. R/O suggested Decipher (I had not idea at time what that was) and I concurred. It came back low risk and changed my treatment plan to no hormone just radiation.

A decision to do A/S or to treat with radiation and or surgery is a personal decision and should not be based on what others did. It is your body, your cancer, your available treatments, insurance, etc.

I was overwhelmed when I was diagnosed but had an excellent PCP, urologist, and two different R/Os guiding me.

I wish you good luck in your journey and really you did not offend anyone that I can see.
