Hi heavyphil, it's an interesting concept to focus only on the lesions, but my lesions didn't show cancer after a guided biopsy. Although one PI Rad 4 was very small and could have been missed with the needle, the other was large enough to hit. I've read that PI Rad 4 ratings are only cancerous 35% on average, so its not that unusual to have a negative result on a PI Rad 4 biopsy. Have you had different experiences?

Ed, you previously stated that you were a 3+4 in one lesion, downgraded from 4+3. Gleason 3+4 IS cancer, which I personally would want to eradicate before it got larger or worse in grade.
Waiting is fine - until you can’t and then what? Focal therapy might be off the table. TulsoPro is advertised pretty much specifically for what you have: smaller, lower grade tumors. Worth a look at least.
