@jeffmarc I'm assuming OHSU is staging me as "favorable intermediate GG2" because 96% of the cancer is 3+3 and the rest low volume pattern 4, even though there is a lot of cancer volume bilaterally. The indeterminate EPE is a concern but there is nothing else in my MRI history or even PSA history that would suggest more distant spread. Of course if decipher comes back high, that will change some things.

That is true some places don’t like to consider 3+3 anything cancerous so it doesn’t really count. The thing is though, so many 3+3’s is an issue. As I mentioned before A doctor at one of the conferences said if they are 3+3 but they’re more than Six than it may be time to be treated.
When they do a biopsy, they only biopsy about one percent of the prostate. Many people that have had biopsies have found the cancer has been worse in areas that didn’t show up in the MRI. We talk about it in this forum regularly.
