Hi, I was diagnosed with a Gleason 6, waited
1 year had another biopsy; Gleason remained at 6, but there was more cancer, so I started radiation, and eventually moved on to hormone therapy. I hope this was at least some help.

Hi @philnob,
Thanks for your response. This does help! How old were you, and what drove your decision to do radiation and hormones versus surgery. Did your age factor into the decision at all?
