Biopsy report

PIN and ASAP are suspicious features that, in the case of a negative biopsy, indicate a higher possibility of finding PCa in the future. If other cores are positive, as it happens in this case, they are irrelevant. It is much more important to notice the Gleason grade or risk group shown by the positive cores. I suposse you mean it is grade group 5 that means very high risk. Anyway, if the cancer is contained inside the prostate or even it is just locally spread there are many good options to treat it.

MG, the gleason scores are the important things to have for yourself and for us to understand how to help you. If all your cores are Gleason 6 (3+3), then you're a candidate for AS and life is good. If they are Gleason 9, then you've got a long hard road ahead--but you can still come out well.

Help us out, what are the scores?

Thanks for the above, I have read it....
Thanks for everyone's input....
I woke up at 3:30 this morning thinking on this cancer stuff...

This cancer stuff sucks all right. As you go through researching options I'd suggest you consult a psychologist for help with dealing with all the horrible thoughts you have when first diagnosed. If you're lucky you may find one who's been through a cancer battle. Also research mindfulness as another helping mechanism. And of course spend countless hours researching this site for helpful info.
