@jeffmarc Thank you so much for your help again. I am meeting with my urologist next week. I will ask about the PSMA PET scans as well. Do you suggest a list of specific questions I can bring to her ?

Ask to have another biopsy. You need to find out what your last biopsy showed however, you still haven’t said anything about the results. It looks like your Gleason score will be higher So a biopsy makes a lot of sense.
How about logging into the medical system where you got treated and look up your biopsy and see what it shows. You could post the whole thing here and we could review it and comment
Ask to get a decipher test to find out how likely you are to have a reoccurrence. If you are very likely, then, you probably want to get ADT after treatment.
Tell the doctor you want to get a PSMA PET scan to see if the cancer has spread somewhere else in your body.
Ask, if you were to have surgery, can they spare the nerves? That’s important so that you’re able to get an erection after surgery.
Ask if any of these things found in the biopsy intraductal, ductal, large cribriform, Seminal vesicle invasion, EPE or ECE. (Extraprostatic extensions extra capsular extensions). They can make the cancer much more aggressive.
