Very interesting pathology report about cribiform

@surftohealth88 My second opinion at a CCC facility stated I had one pin with 10% Crib and metaphorically yawned. Gave me a 70:30 chance of never having to revisit this after my current treatment. Oncology Surgeon used it as a selling point to get the removal job which I now view as manipulation. If you haven't personally seen the slides, how can you emphatically say the doctors information is false? The value of this forum is prostate cancer patients personal stories and experiences. What did your slides look like?

I know exactly how my husband's slides looked like and also how his post-op slides look like since I asked to see them. I know exactly how cribriform looks like as well as EPE, capsule, nerve bundles, etc.

Actually we had one hour meeting with UCSF pathologist himself and went through slides one by one and had in depth discussion.

I am biologist and I worked with microscope and "slides" for years and I can tell you with certainty that cribriform or IDC or any other "feature" can be easily seen IF they are present and IF person who is doing examination pays attention and is not rushed to go to lunch or chat with a GF in the hallway, or is just sloppy.

I expect from myself nothing but "my best" in everything that I do and I loath sloppiness and willy-nilly untrue declarations spewed at patients.

I hope this eases you mind.
