Unfortunately, you did not tell us anything about what was found in your biopsy, That information is really critical to answer your question.

I had a Gleason 3+4 and my surgery was not done until six months after it was diagnosed. After the surgery, my Gleason score was raised to 4+3. But that is not unusual, it Frequently happens after the surgery that the score is increased, and occasionally decreased, because they can see the whole prostate, and they can only get about one percent when they do the biopsy. It did take 3 1/2 years before my PSA started rising again.

How high was your PSA. Was anything else found in your biopsy that could make the cancer aggressive.

I know you have posted here before, but There are so many people posting and it’s hard to keep track of everybody’s symptoms.
