I had Decipher test done my Mayo Jacksonville. From my biopsies I was in the intermediate group. When I had the Decipher test it came back low risk. This changed my treatment recommendations from receiving hormone treatments to not recommending them based on results of Decipher.

This is for radiation treatments though. Is your husband having surgery? Is the cancer still inside prostrate? Has he had a bone scan, a Pet Scan? All these test help the oncologist set up treatments. I had 30 proton pencil beam treatments at UFPT. Mayo Jacksonville did not have proton radiation treatment to offer me.

Congrats on your downgrade. My husband chose surgery partly because he would need 18-24 months hormones with radiation. I don't think his downgrade would affect that because, although his biopsy was also downgraded by JHU, he still is Gleason 8 with two 4+4 cores. He has had a PET PSMA - clear. We checked into proton treatments in San Diego and Mayo Phoenix but they would require ADT (dealbreaker for him).
