@westernflyer you know that a Gleason 6 does not require treatment. Just wondering if they informed you that active surveillance is an option.

@imbimbo I had two (2) biopsies, and both validated the case for low growth prostate cancer.
Remember, the Gleason score is subjective and depends upon the interpretation of the cells by a pathologist, as such an opinion.
I had TricCare for Life, so the cost was zero, although the bill was over $125,000 total. Of course housing for 2.5 months plus rental care and such made the experience a long one.
