What's your radiation therapy experience as a pT3b cancer patient?

My Gleason score was 3+4 = 7 with 6-10% cells rated "4". So it was as low of a "7" as you can get without being a 3+3=6. But the Gleason score means/meant nothing once the final surgical pathology report was issued with all of the unexpected additional tumor characteristics and cellular pathology.
Thanks

While your Gleason score does mean that you may be able to avoid doing that radiation early. If you had a Gleason nine it would mean your cancer was very aggressive and doing that radiation would make sense. With a Gleason 9 the chance of recurrence is very high.
