Jeb0505: you might want to use your biopsy material for a decipher test. At the minimum, it will give you a back up opinion that is not based on an image. It will let you know, based on its comparison, to similar biopsies, the aggressiveness level of your cancer, and it will suggest how many modes of treatment to consider. Doctors do use this test and based on this test they may reevaluate what treatments they would suggest for you.

My mridian 5 hypo-fractional treatments ended in February. My worst Gleason was 3+4. I felt that everybody was physically different, such that growth could not be determined by doctors or by Testing in Ways that would give me an accurate determination as to how long it would take for my cancer to grow outside of the Prostate, if it ever did. I was not willing to take the chance that it grew out of the Prostate, where additional treatments could possibly and dramatically change my quality of life.
