@jeffmarc Thanks for this! I'll step through it today. My dad had his PSA spike in his mid to late 50's and had his prostate removed, which caused permanent ED for him, but eradicated the cancer. Nobody has even mentioned genetic testing, outside of the additional expensive molecular "Genomic" test that my urologist sent my biopsy core samples in for, (I posted the results above).

Well this isn't good:

Thank you for your interest.

@cxracer
I’ve never heard of somebody having this response before. I can only imagine it’s because you did not say you had prostate cancer at some point. Did they ask about family history of cancer?

I know this free test is going to stop soon, but I’m not sure when. It seems people are still able to apply for it.

This test is not similar in any way to the decipher test.

You can ask your doctor to have one of these tests done. It is covered by insurance..
