@dgd1953,jim18,@jeffmarc,

thanks guys. Jeff, no aggressive stuff......etc. only two cores. low psa. etc. thought the decipher was maybe the result of prostitis. did not do SBRt just to keep the dosage as low as possible for QOL down road. most of the % for SE were pretty similiar for SBRT vs. IMRT/VMAT in the PROTECT trial and the PACE-B trial.

Hang in guys. stay strong Jeff. I am going to start the rad. at UChic. in a month or so.

Decipher score has nothing to do with prostatitis - it measures number of mutations in your cancer cells. If Decipher is high it means that cancer is more aggressive and thus treatment should be adjusted accordingly. Also, biopsy examines just 1 % of the whole gland !!! Some features can be missed in sampling, unfortunately.

Wishing you super successful treatment 🍀. You caught it early and I am sure that cancer will be eradicated 👍 : ))) !
