Based on the information provided, you need more info in order to begin “desired treatment” decision-making.
1. Did MRI show any lesion(s)?
2. As others have asked, from the one positive core, how much was Gleason 3 and how much was Gleason 4?
3. You will want a Decipher or similar test performed on the biopsy.
4. Active Surveillence may be your best option, at this time. More info will guide this decision/option. Some of this may be: Genetic testing to test for BRCA or other inherited gene(s), 2nd opinion on initial biopsy (Dr Epstein or similar), and Decipher.
5. With the information you provided, I would not be ready to make a treatment decision.
6. https://ancan.org/prostate-cancer/ Join Ancan and particpate in either the Active Surveillence or Low/intermediate group. Lots of great support and information. You will be able to introduce yourself and provide information you have. You will get lots of recommendations and information.
Best Wishes.

A bit more info:
MRI showed one lesion which turned out benign. The one positive core was found randomly. 80% non-benign with 70% given a Gleason 4. So, overall Gleason was 4+3.
(Intermediate unfavorable)
Decipher test ordered.
2nd pathology review in process, too. Waiting on those redults.
Thank you for your suggestions and questions.
