DI341: One other note. The type of radiation machine and its margins are REALLY important in terms of quality of life and side effects. The less that gets radiated the better off your significant other is. Secondly, my own feeling was even with 3+3 Gleason and a PSA of 10.2 and one center of excellence RO saying "you may want to monitor", I would not have because it is an inexact science and nobody knows whether it will spread or how fast, although the Decipher test was helpful for both my final decision and multiple RO's who looked at it.
