please hear me out take it from me i was in your postion ..CRIBIFORM …i did radiation and i regret it .not only did radiation mess me up bad and it did not work ..6 years PSA started creeping up .. after mri and biopsy all the cancer that remained was gleason 4 and the same tumor right next to the targeted marker ..i had 2 too surgeons tell me they are seeing as of late that cribiform seems to be radiation resistant..the cancer was fortunately contained to the postate still and i had salvage surgery done at ucla and i just celebrated 1 year cancer free .. dont even think about radiation..find an expert surgeon get it removed ..i was soo worried the first time around ..for nothing the surgery to me was a piece of cake ..2 hours on the table 1 night in hospital 1 week catheter ..onky side effect i have is a leak but thats only because i had salvage surgery if you do radiation you are taking a hugeeeee riskkkk ..thats my opinion from the horses mouth

Sorry to hear about your inclusion into this "club".
Don't know if you are still trying to decide what treatment to pursue but I can offer the following
When I was 65 (15 years ago) I was diagnosed with Gleason 6 prostate cancer without any extension. I opted for HDR Monotherapy Brachytherapy, Treatment involved 18 tiny needles inserted into the prostate during a day and a half hospital stay. There were 3 radiation factions during that time and each time, tiny radioactive seeds were inserted into the needles for nanoseconds each. Basically radiation ONLY on the tumor and no other places via track or whatever. Post treatment … no pain, minimal blood in urine, no ED, no leaks, no catheter, …. basically almost seamless. It took 2 years for my PSA to go from 2.75 to Undetectable (<.06) due to the way radiation works on cancer cells. Yes, there was some anxiety over that period of time (since there were 2 or 3 "bumps as expected) but all is well 15 years later with my PSA still Undetectable. Do I recommend this approach? I recommend you do all the research you can …. I have, myself, heard more horror stories from prostate surgery patients than those who chose radiation (leakage, ED, re-occurrence, death, etc.) but that is just my personal experience. Many have experienced one and done without complications.
Hope it helps you make an informed decision …. whatever you do will affect the rest of your life.

want to update you…PSMA PET Scan looking good…
HEAD/NECK: No suspicious findings within the neck.
CHEST: No enlarged or avid thoracic lymph nodes. Coronary arterial calcium.
No suspicious or avid pulmonary lesions. Linear densities within the lungs are consistent with subsegmental atelectasis or scarring.
ABDOMEN/PELVIS: There is no focal abnormality of tracer activity within the prostate gland. No enlarged or avid pelvic or retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Elsewhere below the diaphragm, tracer activity is unremarkable.
MUSCULOSKELETAL: No suspicious or avid skeletal lesions.
IMPRESSION:1. No focal abnormality of tracer activity within the prostate gland to correspond to the recently diagnosed prostate carcinoma.
2. No findings of malignant nodal disease.
3. No evidence of skeletal or visceral metastasis.
Loma Linda urologist agree to go to AS…ordered PSA test now was 5.24 compare to previous 5.9 than December again and in May Biopsy again
On July 8th Tuesday at 2.30 set app with Dr. Basset…I have CD- MRI, CD- PSMA PET SCAN and last PSA blood test…all copy reports…after will decide what to do

Steve1961….
I made a decision to do surgery…schedule on March 9th
I have Cribriform…ultimately, the aggressive nature indicate cribriform pattern
usually take precedence over a low genomic score (Decipher test 0.4%) present of the cribriform architecture often leads to definite treatment( surgery or radiation therapy) I don not even consider radiation
I have Gleason score 3+4 =7 saying low risk… but Gleason pattern on biopsy 4: 40% plus Cribriform turn me to high risk right away…I been one year on AS.. after second MRI on 12/22/25 doctor said nothing change to compare year ago…but was mentally difficult to know it inside of me.
I have MRI.. 2 times.. result is cancer…then biopsy 1 time.. cancer with Gleason 7 but pattern 4: 40%… plus cribriform .. then PSMA PT SCAN ..no tracer activity within prostate gland..then Decipher low risk …so confuse….hard to make decision but I did….want to take it out from my body.
