There are 5 percentage groupings for prostate results 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. The Doc says I have come out just on the wrong side of category 2. They have counted up 25% cancerous cells in one area of the prostate. Anything up to 20% is number 1 and a watch and wait scenario. Numbers 2,3 and 4 are a step up in treatments, so I have penciled in a date to have the Prostate removed. It's not confirmed, as they have given me a book to read on the whole topic. You can argue statistics, as my prostate as a whole is under 20% however they break it down into areas, like the right side has 25% and the left 5%. So the recommendation is to get it out earlier particularly if you are otherwise fit.
