kjacko: doctors are not infallible. Second or third opinions from different doctors at different institutions help narrow down a choice. The Decipher test also gives you additional biopsy based results (it takes about 2 weeks for these results). A phone consultation, with you sending your biopsy, imaging/report and any other test results, could be done fairly quickly. Postpone for a short time so you know after your decision that you gathered as many opinions as you can, in various ways, to feel comfortable with your decision. Regardless of how your body reacts to any given treatment, there is less, or no, "buyers remorse". Make sure you strongly consider quality of life side effects from the impact on healthy tissue.
