Gleason 9 SO wants me to stop ADT @6 Mos for look see

There is another test that apparently is good at predicting metastases - DECIPHER. My treatment plan based on low risk DECIPHER score, tumor stage, and G9, is only radiation, no ADT. So I'm placing a big bet on that analysis.

Scary, but I've researched it and, well, we'll see. It's part of a clinical trial, in this. case high risk cancer (G9), low risk on all other markers (PSA, DECIPHER, tumor stage). I have friends on ADT or who have had it, understand the negatives of ADT and the one positive: it may save your life.

With Gleason 9, I suspect they'd treat it as aggressive regardless of Decipher score. I *think* Decipher is most useful for borderline results like Gleason 7, but I'm just a layperson.
