Thank you very much for sharing your concerns about prostate cancer with us.
Biopsies can vary depending on how they are performed, but in your case, and after reviewing your results, the biopsies are similar an indicating the same Grade of 7(3+4) and both show disease in both lobes of the prostate. Moving forward, and to decide on the best treatment, images are needed to examine the lymph nodes next to the prostate and your whole body for any possible metastatic disease.
