jbmck, The 3+3=6 would not indicate an active cancer. It is the lowest on the Gleason score. However biopsies only are good for the areas the biopsies are taken. From your post you do have lesions so the concern.
Are you having symptoms of prostratis and enlarged prostrate? Are you seeing a urologist? The PSMA (Pet Scan) is a good test to help see areas in and out of prostrate that may have cancer. The DECIPER test is a genetic which can give accurate genetic test of the biopsies taken and give a risk factor.
The only thing I would mention is my urologist/radiologist treated my entire prostrate not just the areas found with cancer. This was because some areas can be missed that may have cancer so treat all.
You sure have a unique case and agree with billfarm keeps testing.

Sorry. The editor here was acting hinky and kept dropping my detailed posts. The biopsy was a MRI targeted biopsy so the entire prostate was scanned. That was 3 lesions. Biopsy showed 2 indeterminate and one Gleason 3+3. Subsequent MRI (about a year later) showed nothing (No PI-RADS >= 3). And that's the question. All problems seem to have vanished except the PSA is way up. Doctor is a bit confused.
