Cribriform cells: Does their presence change treatment approach?

Thank you so much for your comments. I agree with you that 6 months seems long for going without medication. We have decided on surgery but if we change the doctor we may have to wait longer. Also. the surgeon we have been allocated has a great reputation. Only problem is going without medication in the meantime.

I must admit, Considering the case, you have six months is not excessive To wait for surgery. I did Errr saying it was a mistake to wait that long.. If I had been a Gleason nine with it already spreading outside the prostate that would be different.
As others have said, however, I still think it would make a lot of sense to get a second opinion.

You can get a second opinion and go over the options with a different doctor. Six months is a long time to wait for surgery and I know that many people don’t have to wait that long. Insurance Does pay for this.
You may find a different medical team can get you as good or better treatment.
