It was from the biopsy. After reading your comment, I went back to check the pathology and the exact wording is: "Adenocarcinoma of the prostate, Gleason Score 4+3=7 (grade group 3), with minor tertiary pattern 5" and "Margin Status: All margins negative for invasive carcinoma".

Thank you for providing that insight for me, I feel better informed now.

Then you are 4+3. Minor pattern 5 is not such a big factor by my understanding. The important factors are negative margins and no cribriform nor IDC. I think that is still a good prognosis.

I doubt that Guadalajara has better providers than Mexiico City (Monterrey maybe). Mexico City is also closest to Oaxaca.
