This is great information thank you very much. I feel like I should know this but what is the Decipher score? Is that free PSA? I can't think of what number fits that category. Maybe I should consider active surveillance. Nevertheless, I haven't consulted many doctors.. But I'm in Scottdale right next door to the Mayo Clinic. I feel like I'm in good hands. Having been through radiation on my throat I know what to expect. It kills everything. Here's my email if you have more to share. toddspr@outlook.com

You can just DM me right here on the site.

The Decipher is a test where they take your biopsy samples and analyze it against patterns of hundreds of thousands of other tests to determine if what the biopsy is seeing is statistically wrong - basically a genetic test. They found the DNA properties of my biopsy were indicative of worse cancer than what was reported.
