Hi Jeff - thanks for giving me some advice for going forward 😟. Do you have any idea of how and where to send the whole gland for examination ? I guess it would be very difficult
Yes - it could be possible that cribriform made it to 5 level, and this also shows that biopsy is not so precise as we would like to think. It is often said that only when gland is out and on the table to be examined as a whole by pathologist the real and whole picture is known.
Pathology report was sent this morning without doctor's comments ( directly from pathology) so we will try to get hold of doctor tomorrow and possibly get some more info and explanation about findings.
My husband is not on any ADT , his initial findings pointed to intermediate unfavorable with no extensions and very small tumor burden. Out of 14 samples only single one had 4+3, and 2 others were 3+3 , all the rest clear. PSMA clear on everything but that one spot on the right side of prostate and he had detailed TRUS in July which also confirmed that all was contained in a gland.
We will ask about possible ADT and ARSI, thanks for telling me about that possibility.
There is supposed to be a DVD of all prostatectomies?
