Moffitt is considered from what I read as an outstanding cancer center. You mentioned Mayo Jacksonville for second opinion. I have been a patient at Mayo Jacksonville since 2006. It is where I had my DRE, MRI/Contrast, and my biopsies done. But I chose UFHPTI for my radiation treatment because Mayo Jacksonville could only offer photon radiation and I preferred proton.

I think but not sure if you contact Mayo Jacksonville and asked for second opinion you might be able to send them your medical records and get a second opinion. In my case Mayo Jacksonville did additional tests that you have had. They added Decipher and bone scan. When I got second opinion at UFHPTI they ordered, and I got PSMA.

I noticed your Gleason score of 3+3=6. Let me suggest you look up Gleason Scores and their meanings. A 3+3=7 is consider low score and you have lots of options. I am not a medical expert but having gone through this with a Gleason score of 3+4=7 I wish I had your score of 3+3=6 if that tells you anything.

I see I put a wrong number in the last paragraph. 3+3=6 not 7. Sorry about that. Getting old these days and the old eyes don't pick up things like they used to.

@jc76 thanks . I have 2 areas that show perineural invasion, and that’s concerning. How did you do with your radiation?
