Surf, AS is watching the PSA multiple times a year, not every 5. At worst it's generally 6 months, and that's after 2 years of every 3 generally. Also, 4+7 isn't a legitimate Gleason, did you perhaps type that wrong? Not only is 11 not a valid number but usually the two numbers are one digit apart rather than four.

Oh my - sorry, yes, NOT 4+7 , ayayyayyyy, 4+3, I apologize, had very little sleep last night : (...
Also allergies are killing me I can hardly see anything since my eyes are tearing like crazy .
But it is not even just 4+3, it has cribriform and IDC which puts it in very aggressive group. According to some pathology experts gleason in his case is not just 7, it is 7.5 .
Sorry for the typo ...
PS: AS involves PSA, biopsy, MRI in regular intervals . My husband only had PSA checked every 6 mos and MRI every 2 years. He should have had biopsy every 1-2 years once 3+3 was detected .
