Have you read my threads on 2nd & 3rd Opinions of your Biopsy result Gleason 3 + 3 = 6
My 1st Transperineal MRI Fusion Biopsy was negative . My MRI was PI Rads 5 .
My 2nd Biopsy was Gleason 3 + 3 + 6 . A 2nd opinion was changed to ALL Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 in all the six target cores . A 3rd opinion changed again to Four Cores Gleason 3 + 3 = 6 and the remaining two cores Glleason 3 + 4 = 7
I suggest , as recommended in Dr. Patrick Walsh's Book " Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer ", that you get a 2nd or 3rd opinion of your biopsy pathology results .
Finally . I personally would not make any major treatment decisions on a Decipher Score -- It
is only an additional marker BioMARKER !! . The real treatment options are determined by
your Biopsy plus Bone & CT Scans , or PSMA PET CT Scan .

Thanks, clandeboy. I have read and appreciated your threads and am actually in the process of getting a second opinion on my biopsy results and lining up a PSMA scan. I also don’t plan on making any treatment decisions based solely on my high Decipher result but also feel that it must factored in as it is an additional marker which appears to be gaining recognition and credibility in the medical world.
