Your husband might want to use his biopsy material for a Decipher test which will give you all a feel for its aggressiveness. The results are used by doctors to decide treatment. As @jeffmarc said, getting another opinion is important, and you can do a telehealth with a center of excellence.

I too had a 3+4 with an 11.2 psa and chose specifically, a radiation machine with a built in MRI, vs fused images with other radiation machines. What the doctors can see, they can treat. I also felt the treatment parameters with that type of machine exposed less healthy tissue and therefore less side effects. So far so good. I was treated in February of 2023 and had spaceoar inserted.

Thank you for posting your update.

I wondered a couple of things as you considered your options;
was removal ruled out?
what your urologists recommendation was?
was cribriform detected?

I am in the same boat with (3+4), 63, and have pni and cribriform. No health issues. I am weighing treatments and meet with my urology oncologists in mid-August.
Thanks.
