Low PSA, MRI shows likely cancer

It’s encouraging that you had similar circumstance and are still going strong. Biopsy for my spouse came back as cancer with Gleason score of 9. Still treatable and hopefully they can put it into remission soon.

I had a PSA of 5.9 and the subsequent biopsy revealed a Gleason score of 8. I opted for a prostatectomy. The pathology report after surgery increased my Gleason score to 9. That was three years ago. Two years ago I had a recurrence and underwent hormone therapy and radiation. Since that time, my PSA has been undetectable. Hopefully this will be the same outcome for your husband.
The road ahead for you and your spouse will be full of anxiety and questions. Do all the research you can and pepper your medical team with your concerns. Your upcoming decisions are major and will have long-term implications.
