How long did you wait for second (third) opinion ?

I waited 2.5 years after having salvage radiation for a margin issue and 3 months in on ADT. Lost confidence in my SO due to poor communication. Went to a genitourinary cancer specialist at a Comprehensive Cancer Center and was just amazed at the thoroughness of their process. I now have a level of confidence in where I am in the process. Wonder if a private practice would ever say that? You mentioned Cribriform so I ask how many pins and what is the percentage in that those pins? My guy wasn't too concerned with 10% in one pin. He stated the current danger is over treatment. Best wishes on your journey.

Chippydoo, tanks so much for giving me personal experience with cribriform. My husband has one core out of 14 with 4+3 and it is 40%. He had only 2 or 3 other cores positive for anything and they were 3+3.

Are you saying that your doctor thinks that there could be "too much treatment" in your case ? I had a feeling that our doctor was also somehow thinking that we should chill and not jump into treatments before we know all options *sigh. It is all so confusing OR maybe I have overload and should spend some time gardening or going to nature ... 🙁
