….well, my diagnosis would have put me into your “already too far gone” group.

Needless to say….after 2.5 years on AS and a GG2 diagnosis….all the original PIRADS lesions (3,4 & 5) are “no longer visible”….two of which were found to supposedly contain low volume 3+3….so go figure….

If I have learned anything, after 2.5 years of studying PCa, it is to maintain a healthy skepticism towards one’s initial diagnosis, especially if it’s GG1 or GG2.

There is no reason to rush any treatment decision, if your initial biopsy diagnosis is GG1 or GG2. Get confirmation before moving forward with treatment.

@handera Yes, it would have indeed…but maybe those PIRAD numbers might have been less dire with another pair of eyes? MRI’s can be really unreliable, it seems.
My surgeon told me that there was something ‘suspicious’ on mine, warranting a biopsy…
Jeez Louise, it was a freakin solid block of G4+3 with cores of 70-90%! They never told me (Or I never looked) what my PIRAD score was…but it must have been really up there…
