@phildphs Imagine, all this on a matter of opinion - a coin toss determining your fate.
That’s the hardest part of this thing - knowing that nobody really knows! Congrats,
Phil

@heavyphil When we got a 2nd opinion on my 3+4, (instead of a coin toss & with no way of knowing which was right) I made the decision (even before the results came back) to get treated to whichever was the highest Gleason:
> should the 2nd opinion come back a 3+3, I would still get treated to the 3+4;
> should the 2nd opinion come back a 3+4, I would (of course) get treated to the 3+4;
> should the 2nd opinion come back a 4+3, I would get treated to the 4+3.
As it turned out the 2nd opinion came back a 4+3, so we simply added 6 months of ADT to the 28 proton radiation treatments.
