Indeed - the decipher is high. How old is your husband when treated and how is he doing (exceptionally well I hope)? That element alone is what prompted the Urologist to lean in the surgery direction (he is a robotic surgeon with over 4k prostectomies). However, a number of gleason 8 and 9 people I know in my age range have opted for radiation in hopes that the treatment works, or works well enough for 10-12 years, to see improvements in RP salvage surgery. It is a dilemma.
