Since Active Surveillance is common at 3+4 probably not. However, what creates the wait: Insurance? NHS? The diagnosis is based on biopsy results and a second opinion can be done through telehealth since they will get the original biopsy pathology to examine directly from provider. Put up biopsy details if you want more information. The lower the Gleason 4 percent and the fewer aggressive factors noted on the biopsy the longer the wait can be.

@jim18 just my opinion. I wouldn’t wait. There is a treatment some doctors have expertise in. That is freezing the cancer in the prostate gland. My senior friend had it done. He did not want to have surgery.

@jim18 my husband wants to go to Johns Hopkins for a second opinion. The doctor referred him there.
The biopsy showed nothing in the left side. There is PNI. There was 30% 4 in two cores, and 20% in one.
