Recently diagnosed stage 1 prostate cancer

Posted by kyndats @kyndats, Nov 16, 2025

Recently diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer, Gleason 6, PSA 4.87, and Decipher 0.78 . Prior to getting the genome Decipher score my doctor and I were comfortable with Active Surveillance. Don’t have my next consult with him for another week and a half. Does that Decipher score knock me out of the Active Subeillance box?

Will be discussing all my treatment options with my urologist next week. Trying to consume as much info as I can on my own before that consult. Thank you for the encouragement.

What I found was when I was meeting with my urologist and R/Os was to write down your questions and concerns and let your doctor know you have a list of questions and concerns.

I found that when you have a list and refer to it, it makes the doctor seem to slow down and listen more than just a question here or there.

Good luck on your journey!
