According to doctors at the latest PCRI convention
Grade group, one HIGH volume likely to proceed to treatment. (3+4 is grade group 2)
5-10% of GG1 within 5 years before progression
Within 10 years 51% of Gleason 6 on AS have to be treated.
High volume is >5 cores found with Gleason 6.
You are at the point that progression is very likely. I think you should get involved with another group of doctors to find out what the best choice is. Going to a center of excellence like Mayo would be a good choice. At a minimum, you should find yourself a Genito Urinary Oncologist, the ones who specialize in prostate cancer, To lead your treatment decisions, you need new choices at this point.
