ADT, maybe not? Anyone opted out of ADT?

@dgd1953
Per my Gleason score I was given a intermediate risk which R/O stated recommendation would be radiation and hormone treatments. R/O ordered Decipher test, bone scan and PSMA.
My Decipher came back low risk versus you "high range" and my treatment was changed from radiation with hormone to just radiation only.
I would inquire what your urologist or R/O meant by high range to a more specific low risk, intermediate risk, or high risk. Those determinations per my Mayo urologists and R/Os are guiding factors of whether hormone treatments are recommended.

@jc76 I received a copy of the results directly from Decipher. My high range number was 0.84 which led to Decipher recommending a multi-modal treatment plan (radiation/surgery plus ADT). My RO disagreed with that plan and convinced me that ADT was not necessary or desirable. So far, he seems to have been right.
