How much Cribriform did your biopsy contain. I couldn't find my information in the portal as they have changed the portal company a few times over 3 years. Doctor would never give me the numbers after original diagnosis even while my psa started rising. I recently was doing Lupron and switched to Orgovyx for the second 3 months of my 6 months of ADT. I was Gleason 9, Grade 5, t2 stage 3 at diagnosis. Finally got in to see a genitourinary prostate cancer specialist this past week. He told me my story through all of my testing data, and I was blown away. Unknown to me I only had 1 biopsy pin with 10% Cribriform cancer. Stated he doesn't find me interesting. I laughed and said that sounds like a good thing and they all agreed and laughed. I was sentenced to 6 months ADT and 25 sessions of radiation for a missed surgical margin. He stated I now have a risk of being over treated and shouldn't seek anymore treatment unless my PSA rises to 2 (not .2). And then go see him. Gave me a 70 percent chance of never having to deal with this again. Obviously, I am thrilled but expectations are in check. I am so thoroughly disenchanted with my current SO for stringing me out due to his lack of communication. At this point he will be relegated to psa tester only. A night and day difference between a private General urology practice and a Center of Excellence, Comprehensive Cancer Center with a Genitourinary Prostate cancer specialist. Hope ran Eeyore out of the building. Best wishes on your journey.
