I had G3+4 w low risk decipher score even though my psa was about 15, so I chose focul therapy. Eleven months later my psa was 25 and my decipher score was now high risk. Has anyone else heard of the decipher profile changing like that, especially all within a year ? My doctors said it can happen, but that really spooked me to say the least. As a side note, I've heard Mark Schulz say decipher test is unreliable and is inherently skewed towards higher risk readings.

Decipher depends on the cores analyzed. If it misses the highest risk cancer, it will give you a low score.
I wish you guys who were duped into using focal therapy would sue -- that's the only way this deceptive practice will change.
