We all have lots to absorb during these times, but just keep in mind, they probably will send out for the decipher genetic test. Take the results lightly. Just my opinion, but if they try to treat you based on the decipher score you might want to doubt them.

Decipher has a handful of genes it tests, 22 only. There could be 100 or 1000 genes involved so I consider decipher, which a number of doctors trust for some reason, to be just about bunk as far as science goes. You test 22 of 1000's possible genes involved in PCa, and proclaim a risk level, that is bunk science. So in my opinion decipher is not the best. It is like predicting who is president after a few % of people have voted, by pollsters outside the voting places. Basically, that is what decipher is.

Yet decipher is immensely popular. PCRI's and popular youtube speaker medical oncologist Mark Scholz kind of doubts decipher in comparing it to other tests, he is one of few professionals that doesn't give it glowing reports. You should not just jump on that genetic bandwagon too much, whatever it reports back to you. The company that owns decipher is making millions of dollars of course in selling it. Hopefully it doesn't give any issues. Just letting you know.
