For your prostate biopsy, you may want to check your Gleason score, risk grouping level, and whether the cancer has gone outside the capsule. You can also do a Decipher test which can, through your genome, indicate your risk of aggressiveness in the tumor. Many men with low to intermediate risk prostate cancer can wait 6 to 12 months before treatment if necessary.

One thing the experts advise against is moving too fast with procedures and treatments until you know all your options.

Important caveat: I am not a medical professional, so check out all that I have written here with a qualified doctor or other qualified medical person.

Good luck to you!
