Thank you Andrew! Now for just one more! The Prolaris score chart I found online goes to 2 and says your mortality rate goes up with each higher number. I'm told it goes to 7 (not sure about that)...
The part I'm missing is how do you know that you've reached nadir?...
All of your experience sounds more reliable to me than some of the papers and studies I've looked at. Thanks...

Thanks Roger I'm not disagreeing with what you say, it makes sense. However I'm looking at the bigger picture for me, I had A PSA of 6.5 in December, Gleason score was 4 + 3, pirads was 5 prolaris...

Psa velocity update It's been a fun year! I got a second opinion at the Huntsman Cancer Center in Utah. They reexamined the biopsy results and reversed the numbers. 4+3=7. Had a Prolaris test, 5.8 3t...

I think the big concern is the part 4 being at the apex, I guess there's a greater chance for migration there. Thanks for your response AS....

Thanks Fairwind. Good advice....
What is the bx Bob? I'm not up on all the acronyms yet, but I suspect I will be soon enough. I guess you answered my velocity question. Thanks...
I did see a uro., he said my dre showed a "little bogginess" but no nodules or large mass which made me wonder if there was a small mass. lol The size was 40, I don't know if that's cc or grams....
