This is such a good discussion. I am 62 with UI prostate cancer. Overall, 3+4 with 75 % positive cores (all six primary tumor cores were 4+3). I am enrolled in the GU-010 study that Dr. Desai is involved with. My Decipher score was .79, and I was randomly placed in arm 4 (+Darolutamide). Just finished brachytherapy and EBRT. Four months left of ADT and Darolutamide. I’m happy to say that my symptoms are manageable so far. This discussion spoke to my situation directly, and helped put my mind at ease that I am receiving the best course of treatment for my situation. I really do hope the GU-010 study provides good insights that help future patients. Thanks again for the excellent discussion.
I had similar numbers as you ( although my decipher score was .89) and decided to go the surgical route. I was worried about the hormone therapy and the long term side effects from radiation. I also had doubts whether radiation would be able to kill all the cancer. Just had my 3 month psa test and so far everything looks good. Best of luck to you in your journey.
@@leonardola9161 I also chose radiation. Also August 2024. Over a year later, I’m really happy. Somewhat looser stool, but otherwise everything is great. Hope your doing well too

Desai tends to rush through and slur some of his words making some of what he is trying to convey difficult to discern.
Did anyone else have trouble understanding this man ?
He slurs some of his words together.
Will my nurse be as good looking as you?
