Hi,
Received notification today of Gleason 6, PSA 13. 2 of 17 sample found cancer, less than 1mm length of tumour. MRI prior to Transperenial biopsy showed no suspicious signs, and DRE found small, symmetrical prostate. Prostate density of 0.44 (27cc prostate size). Understand density is high compared to Gleason, so there may be other factors at play. Meeting with urologist in a couple of weeks to discuss next steps. I'm aged 42, and this is all a bit of a shock.
Hello Ged (Ged 8481172b)
Gleason 6 and PSA of 13 sounds like something is in need of treatment - however it's a very low score and it sounds to be 100% curable.
Do please let us know how you get on with the urologist - in the meanwhile if you have any specific questions, however trivial please do ask - you will get answers.
Best wishes - Brian.
