Yes, this is true for the typical "slow growing" prostates cancers, but it is not for aggressive ones. That's why Decipher and genetic tests are so important. Gotta know what you have. Taking your time with a aggressiv PCa is an error imo.

@smoore4 You mentioned genetic tests Our radiation oncologist did not do a genetics test. I asked him about it and he said that was because my husband's father developed prostate cancer when he was in his 60's. Therefore, genetics wouldn't apply. I think I have read that genes mutate and change . Does anyone know about this?
