You might want to use your biopsy material for a Decipher test which doctors do use for treatment choices. A telehealth second opinion might also be helpful. I too had 3+4 Gleason with a higher PSA and chose a built in MRI radiation machine for treatment; less healthy tissue exposure so less side effects. The two in the market are the Mridian and the Elekta Unity. No doctor will be able to predict, in YOUR body, how quickly a tumor will grow.

My report shows a Prolaris test was also ordered. Does the pathologist generally decide whether to order this or the Decipher?
