When you are a Gleason nine there is a high percentage chance that it will reoccur. If you get a decipher test, it can give you a better idea of how aggressive it is for reoccurring, Yes, you are a nine, but that test is another factor In telling you, whether or not reoccurrence is more likely.

I know people with the Gleason nine that are still alive decades after they had their treatment. As is always the rule with prostate cancer, no two people are the same.

Thanks for your response. Regarding the decipher testing I took the Guardant 360 test resulting in “no reportable somatic alterations with associated therapies being detected” Detected alterations/bio markers were all stated as being “variants of uncertain clinical significance” ranging from.2% to 3.3% being PLCG2 T1062A. So, apparently nothing to create concern or direction in medical planning. Maybe also a good sign that recurrence is a ways off, maybe not at all? I sure hope so. By the way, I am in the Aresens (Bayer sponsored)48 week trial measuring cognitive outcomes /differences between participants taking Darolutamide (Nubeqa) and Enzutamide(Xtandi). All quite interesting! Now if I could fix the hot flashes I’d be happy- In another post I believe you mentioned Embr Wave for hot flashes. I bought one and it has not been successful so far. However, JisuLife headset style fan is my new daytime friend and bedside companion! Again, thanks for your comments and advice- it brings hope to a very worrisome journey.
