Hi kugrad,

You wrote that “only 1 core of 16 showing Gleason 3+3. All other cores were negative. Decipher score of .12 which is low.”

With such low risk findings, I assume you were doing active surveillance, with biopsies once a year. Is that right? Have you still not done any treatment? Just curious.

By the way, my biopsy was done transperenially with MRI fusion.

Yes, I have been on Active Surveillance since Dec 2021. I have not initiated any invasive treatment yet, based on my RO stating that my Gleason 3+3 and Decipher score of .12 do
not merit active treatment at this time. My challenge is to find a urologist who can perform an MRI fusion biopsy transperineally, as my PSA seems to bounce from 5.7 to 7.7 to 7.0 during the course of 2023 calendar year. My last biopsy was Dec 2022, but it was not MRI fusion.
