How could they get my diagnosis so wrong.

Don't they have to do a biopsy to get a Gleason 8? If so, are multiple reports mixed up or wrong? Sounds horrific on it's face.

I had a Gleason test Aug. 2022 Score 8. After the RALRP I was told that the tumor was so small < 5% of volume ,that there was nothing left to test, after removal. I am grateful though, cancer free and no metastasis . I can do what ever I want. Making progress on the incontinence, 9 weeks now. I believe in time that the ED can be corrected.

They did the biopsy in August of 2022, after surgery July 18 2023, the tumor was so small < 5% of volume, they said not enough to do a Gleason test. No decipher test because I was on ADT.
