If one gets different gleason score post op than it was in a biopsy there is no way one can prove that wait time was a cause. They will say that biopsy procedure samples less than 1% of the whole prostate and that adverse findings were missed by a probe. That is what we were told when our 4+3 came to 4+5 after waiting for RP for about 4 or 5 mos..

Wishing you the same gleason results or even lower !!! It can happen too : ))))

Thanks for replying Surfer! and thank you for your good wishes! Yes the Doctor said while 60% times the score is same, roughly about 20% of time lower or 20% of the time higher.
