@ireland1964 - with EPE, on my pathology report, I have one section that identifies “focal EPE,” meaning it was just beginning to break through the prostate cap, but hadn’t actually made it to any other neighboring tissue.

Further down, though, I have another section that plainly states “no EPE observed.”

Yes? No? Maybe?

During my most recent PSA follow-up, I asked about this, and I think the NP said it had something to do with EPE being found in one area of my prostate, but not in the other.

I’m not really a details person, so I don’t remember everything she said about it, but she did tell me not to get too worried about it, that since everything else came back negative and they actually downgraded my cancer from a 3+5=8 to a 3+4=7, and changed me from intermediate unfavorable to intermediate favorable, I had a lot to be happy about.
