Does your I.D. indicate you are a surfer?

I have never heard of the test you mentioned Oncotype DX. I did have a Decipher test.

I really am thankful for Decipher. My Mayo R/O ordered one for me after my biopsies put me in the intermediate risk group. That meant radiation and hormone treatments recommendations.

My Decipher test came back low risk. That changed my treatment plan to just radiation no hormones.

I see another poster mentioned financial assistance from Decipher. That is correct. They contacted me by letter and said if insurance did not cover they offer a reduced costs and payment method.
Good luck!

Hey JC, Pretty sure the Decipher only became commercially available mid 2022?
But there were several urine tests available before then. As you point out it’s a game changer treatment wise. My buddy just got his result back - .2something so no ADT and Sloan says he’s a candidate for MRI guided focal ablation.
I told him to run out and buy a lottery ticket😆
