Genetic testing?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who had any genetic testing as part of your treatment decision process?

For context, I’m Gleason 7 (3 4), PSA 5.6 which is up from 4.2 a year ago, cribriform pattern 4, two brothers and dad were diagnosed with PC at about my same age (53). Urologist says I’m low intermediate and recommended RALP, not Active Surveillance. If I’m understanding correctly, there are different types of PC some more aggressive/ faster growing than others. Let me know if that’s incorrect and/or my thinking is flawed IF I do SA IF I learn through genetic testing that my PC is the slow growing type. Here’s a list of tests - copied from a PC book. The Prolaris test by Myriad is especially intriguing to me.
