@fritzo Thank you, Fritzo. I had two different genetic tests for various conditions, but only prostate CA came up. I had not heard of the Decipher test until now, but I think that my urologist saw something on my recent fusion biopsy that indicated mine was a more aggressive type of cells. I agree with you and so I let our son know, to start getting monitored early on.

@drcopp My dad had Parkinson's Disease and several times had me hold out my hands to see that they were steady just to reassure him that I didn't have Parkinson's. Definitely a burden for any parent. We can't control what is passed on to us by our genes from generations past. But, medical science has made huge strides on prostate cancer, so positive thoughts for the future.
