@jc76, thanks very much for your reply to me. I’m using Mayo Rochester. Thanks for the info on Decipher; I will explore that.
I am 71 and in reasonably good health. I’ll keep my two upcoming appointments and see what they have to say after answering my questions. On Friday I had Mayo pathology send my slides and biopsy report to Johns Hopkins for a second pathology opinion.
If I may add, last week I attended my first prostate cancer support group at Mayo Rochester, and it was very worthwhile. Coincidentally, the presenter that day was the radiation oncologist I will be seeing November 20. The meetings are held monthly, and I encourage anyone with this disease (family members are also welcome) to consider going if you are within driving distance of Rochester. It’s great to know you are not alone, and much good information is shared.
