@beachflyer THANKS! We chatted today with the UCSF urologic oncologist. He definitely is pushing AS and my husband seems to trust him (as do I - I sat in on the call). He is calling this "low risk GG2". Borderline GG1. Their own expert path lab reviewed the specimens and agrees: no cribriform and just 5% pattern four (vs 20%), but on two cores, not one. Doc wants to do his own confirmatory biopsy as soon as May or June. Will make that happen. I asked him about the DRE as the trigger for all this, and what that might indicate. That didn't concern him too much - he felt the subsequent MRI sort of superseded the DRE for what that's worth. He personally orders PSMA-PET for higher grade situations as a rule, but we didn't bother to ask if we should cancel it, given that the local urologist ordered and folks here think there's no downside (beyond radiation).
