Gleason scores
I got a second opinion from another surgeon. The slides were sent to the Dr I got the second opinion from and he said my Gleason score was 4 + 3 not the
3 + 4 I got from the original biopsy.
Does this kind of discrepancy happen quite a bit? Obviously the 4 + 3 has me more concerned. Going from active surveillance to this thing has to come out!
Thanks
