Being treated for Gleason 9

In 2015 I had a biopsy done 'cause my PSA was 13 retested It was 14. Had a biopsy and I was told 75% of 12 snips were cancerous. Of course I had options. I elected to have it removed. I'm 67 now. I was told that I would live a normal life should everything be successful. Unfortunately that was far from the truth. Although I have detested undetectable coming up on 10 years in August I am grateful. Beyond what I imagined could happen. But they never discussed anything to do with Gleason numbers so I don't even know what that means or what mine was. I do remember my urologist who did the surgery and I had The non invasive Robotic prostatectomy. And I was told that if everything goes well I should live 20 more years. I guess I have 10 left. I thought that was an odd thing to say. Either way maybe I can get some input on the Gleason numbers And should I even go back at this point and talk to them about it.
thanks for anyone's input.
Paul

Definitely go back and ask for a copy of your original biopsy. It will have your Gleason score and more.
