I don’t know if you noticed but somebody else posted today that their Gleason score after biopsy was 3+4 and they decided on a prostatectomy. Analysis of their prostate showed their Gleeson was 4+5 9. I’ve seen this many times and it happened to me, I was 3+4 after biopsy and 4+3 after prostatectomy. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve seen this happen.

You are having radiation and not a prostatectomy. It could be your Gleason score is much higher. Yes, you are rolling the dice, But for 3+4 if there’s nothing else involved six month is the NCCN recommendation. Why does your doctor say eight months to a year? Is there Something in your biopsy that makes him want to exceed the NCCN recommendation?

I will ask my RO when we look at my PSA in July. Thanks, Jeff!
