You may want to ask your urologist to have a genomic/genetic test run soon on your biopsy tissue. I used Prolaris. Results will give a suggestion for treatment for your particular case. I had a favorable Gleason 3+4 score and Prolaris came back with a suggestion/recommendation for active surveillance, although I was at the high end of the range for surveillance. I am on surveillance now. My Medicare Advantage coverage covered the cost of the test.
