They took THIRTY SIX?!? That's a lot!

You might consider a Decipher test of your biopsy cores, this will help determine if the 3+4 you have is aggressive or not. I was the same, a single 3+4 at 5% with the rest at 3+3 so I was on active surveillance until the Decipher said I was high risk, then they wanted to get treatment done. At 66, I wouldn't be surprised if they keep you on active surveillance or radiation, unlikely they would want to do a prostatectomy from what I've come to understand about recommendations for treatment.

The 36 was from two biopsies. The first a guided biopsy taken after the MRI and then the second on a random biopsy 6 months later. Initially my random samples were rated at 4+3 on two samples. I had them sent to the University hospital for a second opinion where they were down graded to 3+3 and 3+4. So at the time of the 4+3 the urologist was surgery. With the changes made by the pathologist at the University hospital, his recommendation hasn't changed.
