@service1010
In your case, it made a lot of sense to do decipher. You did have a good percentage of cores With 4+3. I suspect they found other things in your biopsy in order to get up to .96

Were any of these things found in the biopsy like intraductal, cribriform, Seminal vesicle invasion, EPE or ECE. (Extraprostatic extensions extra capsular extensions)
,

Those could mean that your cancer was more aggressive and could explain the .96 with a 4+3.

@service1010 means you might be well advised to take ADT.

This link may interest you. It gives a full description of what is found in a decipher test. Multiple pages showing the results for somebody with a fictional .88.
