Thank you again for the prompt response!

My Decipher Score Information states the following:

Clinical studies demonstrate that Decipher intermediate-risk patients with rising or persistently elevated PSA after radical prostatectomy have moderately aggressive tumor biology.

These patients may benefit from earlier post-prostatectomy radiation.
- They were less likely to require salvage hormone therapy when treated with earlier radiation.
- Decipher intermediate- risk patients with rising or persistently elevated PSA may receive oncologic benefit from postoperative radiation with concurrent hormone therapy.

Always appreciate additional insight! This will be discussed at my upcoming Oncologist appointment.

Thanks!

Mike

Well, as I said originally, your PSA never did hit undetectable after surgery. That along with a decipher .6 test, definitely says you have to do radiation soon.

You are going in the right direction. Hopefully this will give you remission for a significant amount of time.

When threads get long it is hard to remember exactly what people said previously, Hopefully, I didn’t mislead you at any point after my first comment about your doctor being right on target.
