How was your Gleason score broken down? Was it 3+4=7 or 4+3=7? Research Gleason Scores and you will see why I asked the question. Great news on your PSMA.
Was the Decipher test explained and offered to you? If not asked about it and consider it. It (Decipher) changed my treatment plan.
You are a young man still. I was 76 when diagnosed. I think age has very significant impact on choices. You mentioned no symptoms. I had none either other than an rising PSA over years that was still under normal PSA guidelines.
Are you being treated at an experience medical facility? How about your doctors? A lot has changed over the years on choices available to those with prostate cancer. Some really new ones coming will drastically changed the way it is treated.
Consider getting a second opinion after you receive treatment options from your doctors. Just remember choices made by others like me may not be the best treatment for you.

Thanks for the Information my Gleason score was 3+4=7. I haven’t been explained about the decipher test that I can remember but I will be asking they Quentin and researching it . I have my follow up appointment soon with my doctor. I have a very experienced doctor and I have a lot of confidence in him. From the start of this journey until present I like him and the staff. Trying to find a radiologist equal to him in there field to just listen but at the end of the day I feel my quality of life is the most important thing to me after my decision. I have to really figure out what is best for me in that regard 100% . My choice is the right choice for me . This group really helped to be able to talk with real people that live with this like me . Not a easy diagnosis to get and navigate through.
