Continued good luck.
You are correct: they said they found a trace of 5, so, although the doc didn't say so, presumably this would then be 3+5?
I omitted to mention, that we also discussed the Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score, which, as you probably already know, allows a determination of one's personal risk of the cancer spreading. As we had decided to go with radiation, this was not pursued.
