Conflicting options - should I get a third?

The Decipher on the biopsy is a big deal. I was in AS territory until that came back and it was correct, the pathology of my removed prostate showed more cancer than any test indicated and that I caught it in time before it became far more problematic. As a result I kept my nerve bundles and had zero long term side effects (no ED, no incontinence). Knowledge is power.

Yes, I agree and that is why I mentioned it. BUT, I think it should be done with every consecutive biopsy. After my husband had his first biopsy Decipher was not available at the time but some other test that checked for mutations and "risk" factor (I can not remember the name at the moment) and it showed very low risk, like "30 year low risk" of developing serious cancer. Well , in less than 10 years it became very serious with Decipher score 100 !
