All,

Thank you so much for sharing personal Prostate Cancer (PC) experiences and advise!

I am a general layman (retired Electric Lineman), these numerous acronyms can be over whelming, and I will not purchase green bananas!

The following is additional information about my in progress PC journey:

Gleason Score was 4 + 4 = 8, High Risk category

Pathology after prostatectomy along with surrounding lymph nodes removed were clean! No metastasis.

My Urologist is advising Androgen (hormone) Deprivation Therapy (ADT) followed by Salvage Radiation Therapy ( SRT).

I do have an appointment with an oncologist on 10-2 2025.

A Decipher Test is a work in progress at this time. Question, is a Decipher Test and a Genetics Test the same thing?

In summary, post prostatectomy with my prostate specific antigens (PSA) elevating I will travel the ADT/radiation roads soon.

Respectfully, we all have our individual/particular PC situations. I believe through the American Cancer Society, Mayo Clinic and other entities working to take on and learn how to treat PC information is shared and all of our Urologists, Oncologist, Radiologist etc. are doing their very best to advise and do what is best for each of our individual situations.

This email communication (support group) is wonderful as I truly appreciate the testimonials and advise!
Doing my best to stay positive! Wishing the best of health for all of us!

Mike
