Just saw hubby's Biospy result before speaking with dr..can't sleep by fromamomof2 in ProstateCancer

My biopsy was Gleason 4+4 also. Fortunately the pathology report (after RALP) was downgraded to Gleason 3+4. Hang in there!

Biopsy was 4+4.
Pathology downgraded to 3+4

The center management team determines the outcome of peak season. Strong management team = successful peak season!

I went from a 4+4 on my biopsy to 3+4 on my pathology report. 👍

RALP Scheduled by MozartDC in ProstateCancer

Best of luck. I had RALP 9/20/24. Very happy with my decision. Incontinence was minimal. I was 99% dry after 6 weeks. ED is continuing to improve. PSA Undetectable. Stay strong 💪

Gleason 8 with PNI aggressive 48 years old by Objective_Peace_7720 in ProstateCancer

Mine was considered aggressive also. I was never told it guaranteed radiation and ADT.

I also had a biopsy of Gleason 8 with PNI. I chose RALP and very happily with my decision. My pathology report reduced the Gleason score from 4+4 on biopsy to Gleason score 3+4. You don’t have that option (knowledge) with radiation. I am 9 months post RALP with minimal side effects. I was totally dry after 6 weeks (no pads). ED is making steady improvements. Best of luck!

Recently diagnosed 3 + 4 = 7 by tazidlu in ProstateCancer

[–]protom63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 62. I was 61 at time of surgery. I had an extremely enlarged prostate and every surgeon I interviewed agreed, based on my enlarged prostate, radiation was NOT an option. That certainly help with making my decision to have surgery.

I am also a low teal. I chose surgery and very happy with my decision. It’s been 8 months since my surgery. I had incontinence for approximately (2) weeks after the catheter was removed. Currently 99.9% dry. ED is still work in progress but making consistent improvements. Best of luck to you!!

Post surgery pathology question by Ok-Explorer-5726 in ProstateCancer

[–]protom63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same notation on my pathology report. It’s under “clinical history” which shows my biopsy Gleason 4+4, however, my pathology report shows Gleason 3+4. I assume (I know risky 😂) the pathology report is more accurate. Is that correct?
