Hi Andy, did you have any IDC-P present or Cribriform in your pathology report ? Asking because my husband has exact same numbers as you and we are gathering data about possible treatments etc. Thanks so much in advance.

No IDC-P or Cribiform - Two of the four cores (out of 12) that had cancer present had evidence of perineural invasion, but nothing else. My initial biopsy report was G7 4+3 but MD Anderson's second opinion downgraded it to G7 3+4 (months after treatment of course). With G7 4+3 the recommendation was 12 months of ADT with Protons or 4 months ADT with Brachytherapy. The downgrade would have skipped the ADT requirement for both treatments.
