Cribriform cells: Does their presence change treatment approach?

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.

Thank you for your comments Sir. I did get a second opinion and the urologist felt we could wait 6 months but going on ADT in the meantime could help outcomes. I will be consulting another Senior Uro Oncologist tomorrow and will ask him if we can start on Estradiol that you mentioned earlier and many thanks for that! I googled it and found it is not bad for the kidney but could cause blood clots. Maybe we could take that risk as my husband is not hypertensive or obese. Only problem is his renal disease stage one, although kidney function is normal. just weighing the balance between waiting long and risking spread and taking ADT and risking kidney issues...
