Hi, Day 1 for me post biopsy result...with cancer diagnosis of Gleason 6 at age 52. I am reading about how 6 is low risk, but that 50% of Gleason 6s turn out to be higher. I am looking for information on Molecular Tests, Genetics, or other things I can do to avoid risk of it being more aggressive or metastasizing if I choose "Active Surveillance".

Hearing the diagnosis of cancer is a tough blow. How are you doing today?
