Is Decipher after RARP overkill?

You’ve got nothing to lose, and only more knowledge about what you are potentially dealing with.
That said, a higher than anticipated score might just put you on edge unnecessarily. As long as you do follow up PSA’s, monitor the trend and velocity, nothing changes - not your treatment options or decisions.
Whatever happens from here on in is pretty much standard anyway, so I think you are in a pretty good place.

@heavyphil Thanks for your advice. This morning I sent a message to doctor asking to have Decipher ordered, guess there's no reason for them to say 'no'.
