@rice My MRI/Fusion biopsies showed 3+4=7. This indicated standard treatment of radiation and hormone as is classified at least at Mayo Jacksonville as intermediate.

Mayo R/O suggested Decipher test and it was done. It dose not require another biopsy but they use the already taken tissue. My Decipher test came back LOW RISK which removed the need for hormone treatments.

So if you asked if Dechiper test is worth in or do I think you should have it, YES. Both Mayo and UFHPTI both recommended it and went by their findings to developed a treatment plan. I would also suggest you research Decipher test to gain your own knowledge of this more specific risk diagnosis I would also research and consider asking your urologist and or R/O about a PSMA and bone scan. They too can show if spread outside the prostrate.

If you have a biopsie at 3+4 it means you should be looking at second opinions, more tests, etc. A 3+3=6 ususally means watching. Just be aware that when doing biopsies it is NOT all of prostrate and areas even microscopic that have cancer can be missed. It is why my R/O at UFHPTI did radiation on all my prostrate to ensure all was treated and did not miss an area they biopsies did not find.
Good luck,

I asked about the 3+ 4 and was told it was very small and it just barely a 7
