batsam, do you have an oncologist. Gleason 7s get the PSMA/PETs all the time. With probable ECE, it's crucial for treatment decision. If your urologists knows about an insurance issue, they should tell you that there is an insurance issue.

I’ve asked three urologist and a radiation oncologist about getting the decipher test and or scans. They say not needed or necessary for whatever reason. I have discussed this with a radiation oncologist and 3 urologists all at different hospitals. One of the urologists was with one of the top cancer centers in the country.

They all say not needed or necessary at this point. I have been perplexed on deciding but after all the research and the great input by all of the great men in this forum, I have decided to go with the surgery for myself. I feel relieved that I have made a choice and going with one of the most top rated surgeons from my area.

I realize I will be in a long recovery and hopefully Mr. happy down below will recover enough to resume making love to my beautiful wife down the road. I went with the best shot at getting the cancer out of my body and feel pretty good about the choice.

Thanks to all for the support and encouragement.
