Rather than send your slides to John Hopkins for review, you should consider having them reviewed by Dr. Epstein. He is a real expert in analyzing Prostate cancer slides. He does charge $500 for the review, but you can call him and speak to him for quite a while about all the details of your biopsy. A lot of people who have used him.

He will contact the place you had the biopsy and arrange for everything to be done. You don’t have to be involved with that.

@jeffmarc Thank you !!!! I’ll look into that for sure. Do you know if he takes insurance? I’m on Medicare and a supplement

@jeffmarc Info only (sample of one, me). I filled out the online form for Dr Epstein review and never heard back from them (nor did I get any confirmation email so possibly I did something wrong. I could/should have called them (xxx-760-2037) as well but did not so that's on my for not following up.

@floridaman I do not think they take insurance, it's out of pocket and paid 'up front' from my understanding. In your case (4+3) it might be worth it - if he comes back with 3+3 that would be a good change. My biopsy was 4+4 so there would be less chance of a big change for me.
