Has anyone utilized the 4K Score blood test?

PHI is cheaper

Thanks Allen, I'll look into it.

I had the 4K test after PSA hit 7 - I had a 65% certainty of having "aggressive" PC ...it led me to finally have a biopsy the results of which [4+3 and 3+4]. Led to a robot assisted prostatectomy 2 1/2 years ago. PSA now 0. The crux of one test compared to another is it's predictive value for aggressive PC.

Good Luck!

My biopsy last week came back with a Gleason score of 10. I'm having a bone scan tomorrow. Thanks for keeping in touch.

Good luck tomorrow. Where do you reside?

Mineral, Virginia. I've been fatigued for several weeks. Pain in left arm lymph node. Pain around my prostate area. I hope to have closure soon. I'll have results from my bone scan Wednesday.
