I am 3+3 in one core and 3+4 in another core. I got the decider test but they were only able to test the 3+3 core because the 3+4 was too small to test. I was very disappointed because it was the 4 I was worried about

Could you do another biopsy?
Speaking for myself I would want the Decipher test on the 3+4=7 as that is the one with most possible cancer aggression. The urologist doing your biopsies should have taken enough tissue to do this but not being a surgeon or urologist maybe there was a reason it was done to small.

I am not sure where you are going for treatments but would asked about another one or consider getting a second opinin from a different provider and explore another biopsy with need to address the area that came back 3+4=7.

I know this is redundant but my Decipher changed my treatment from Radiation and hormone treatments to just radiation. So you can see why I am a real promoter of this test.
