I forgot to ask about the change from T2 to T3. Following the nistology on the removed, prostate

I was told the Gleeson score was still seven, but that they amended my from T2 to T3

In the scheme of things, what does this mean?

I'm sorry to come across as being a bit stupid, but it's all just getting a little bit too much.. i'm obviously over the moon that they have got, or so they say, all the cancer. But then they add that move from t 22 t three just to slightly take the edge of things

This is quite a good reference for the staging and the differences between the "T" stages, with a couple of helpful diagrams.

The surgeons would have been pretty confident they could get it all, so it is possible that you were kind of on the change over point between the two.

If they have got it all, and they say they have, this is now pretty much irrelevant. You have won, of at least you will have when the side effects wear off.

Keep on keeping on.

Changed, but not diminished.
