Star,
Glad you are persevering through the nonsense of this very frustrating situation to get those slides to Epstein. I view doing so as critical to your husband's treatment. Good on you.

Mattam, I asked that same question. Because there’s such a huge discrepancy....how can one pathologist read 3+3=6 and another 4+4=8? No in-between. Somebody is wrong. One way or another. Doc knew we were hoping for AS based on the initial G6 path.


Just of note re biopsy results. My husband's initial biopsies were 4+3 and 4+4. Post-op biopsies were upgraded to 4+5 - things can change significantly from one test reading to the next.

from what I've seen here the change is normally to the upside.
