Thanks for sharing. Curious, did they take only one lymph node or several? Also, would you be willing to share your Gleason score? My pathology showed that all cancer was contained to the prostate and the six lymph nodes they removed were clear. The one negative was a minor tertiary Gleason pattern 5 that indicates a higher potential reoccurrence. Curious, did you have any tertiary Gleason pattern 5?
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving,

Jim

They just took the one, it was labeled "right pelvic lymph nodes" but the description of the sample was for one, it was negative.
Gleason was 4+3
The primary and secondary are spelled out but the word tertiary does not appear in the pathology report at all.
