Thanks for all your help with this. I have not seen anything about a Decipher score in my biopsy so I will ask about that. Someone has asked about where they found cancer in my prostate and the biopsy shows it’s in the left, right and midline for what that is worth.
If I get surgery it will be in San Francisco VA hospital as they did my back surgery 2 years ago after my wife died and they did an excellent job and excellent care while I was there.
If I need radiation I am hoping to get it in Eureka as I am 250 miles north of S.F.
Looks like Monday will give me a lot more information to think about and I’m sure I will have more questions.
Thank you all for your help, Jim

@jimcarr Your medical team would have to send out your biopsy tissue to get a Decipher test done on it. It is not cheap. Test put out by Veracyte. Will not be on biopsy report. May or may not be covered by VA.
