He emailed me back and ordered one just can't believe something that's so
low volume ans 3+4 ends up being aggressive.

@ginger38314 Whenever there’s a “4” cell type in the Gleason score, there’s always risk of metastasis. It’s good that they’ve ordered you one.
Take this opportunity to learn about PSMA PET scans, and what the results will mean.

So sorry to hear that : (((. It happened to my husband too. He had a single core 4+3 of more than 14 taken, and only 2 more with 3+3 . Decipher 1. (yes, the highest on the scale). Biopsy and MRI showed cancer "contained". PSMA showed no spread but one node was faintly glowing and far below what was considered "positive". Second expert confirmed that it was NOT positive but in reality it was. Post RP biopsy showed that that core was actually 4+5. At that time (just last year) all experts advised RP for high risk patients and than a new study came out recently which showed some advantage with having RT.
It is going to be tough choice and I am wishing you all the best and complete eradication of cancer with whatever treatment you choose 🍀.
