How many biopsies?

Why are you treating your husband’s diagnosis as a death sentence? It’s NOT that bad!! He still has a chance for a cure; you didn’t miss any opportunity - there is no evidence you’ve provided which shows spread outside the gland. What “ductal” involvement are you talking about - ductal cells or seminal ducts or…?
Did he have a PSMA PET scan?

Sorry if I sounded horridly dramatic to you, that was not my intent. I understand that mostly man are here on this forum so I can see how my sentimental posts might be misunderstood. I am very emotional and emphatic person, and I am touched by anybody's pain, let alone of family members. I do not think that it is negligible fact to be diagnosed with C even if it does not cause death in very short period of time or even never. It involves constant medical exams, treatments, scans, biopsies and cause a lot of emotional drain and stress. We just got biopsy results 5 days ago so PSMA PET is not done yet. Intraductal carcinoma =IDC-P puts this tumor in more aggressive category and is more likely to spread. There is about 1 to 2 % chance for that. I hate the fact that it could have been treated with MUCH more ease and efficiency if it was treated on time especially since we were under surveillance for 10 years ( at least we thought that we were).
