I've found that it depends on the surgeon, but this is something you should raise with them. I had the same Decipher and Gleason scores and pushed for at least some PLN dissection given the elevated risk for spread implied by the Decipher. They took out 5, which is a fairly low number. Thankfully all were negative.

Was your pet scan negative too and how are you doing now.

When I met with last week he didn't bring it up, but I emailed him today
and next week he'll probably get back to me, but I'd rather be safe than
sorry.
