so my urologist took out the insides of my prostate (because of a gigantic prostate and left the outer shell. He said the pathology report shows a gleason of 7(3+4), T1a, group 2. Slow growing cancer found in only 5 % of my prostate. Any thoughts? My urologist thinks this is good news because it was removed.

My understanding is that it's a good thing and as slow growing he should be right. Prostate Cancer charity site would be good to look at, though you have probably seen it already?
Good luck!

If the cancer has been removed fantastic! I'm not familiar with a procedure that would leave the shell of the prostate. I am sure you will monitor your PSA on a frequent basis.
