Decipher testing

Ask for an MRI to check , whether the cancer has spread outside the prostate or not. If it’s still in the prostate, I wouldn’t even mess around with active surveillance that just means the cancer is still in you and you’re hoping it doesn’t grow. I was mid 50s when I was diagnosed and I chose radiation which was a bad move. Radiation did not kill all the cancer because it was a cribi form. But nowadays they look for Cribform I guess without sending it out for decifer testing so that’s a good thing for you no Crib form. I was very confused and very upset and downright scared. I made a bad decision tge first time so 5 years later and back in April. I decided to have salvage surgery done, even though it was very risky. They were able to remove the prostate. Everything was contained. Everything look good and I’ve already had two non-detectable test. Hopefully I’ll stay that way if I could go back 6 years ago I wouldn’t even think about it again look up the gold standard for prostrate cancer that surgery. There’s usually three steps, when it comes to prostate cancer one surgery see you later. Goodbye it is gone and then if it happens to come back, you have a back up, which is radiation and after that have hormone therapy, which you don’t wanna do salvage surgery after radiation is tougher not many hospitals do it. It’s extremely tricky and you could have a lot of permanent bad side effects. That’s just my opinion. Good luck oh by the way surgery wasn’t that bad at all?

I would get a second opinion on AS with 3+4 in your 50s. What were the volumes in each core? I had RP at Hopkins age 51 and had very good results as far as side effects. I was encouraged to end AS with gleason 3+3 because my volumes were high and my young age. After surgery i was upgraded to 3+4.
