Some of you very helpful people have suggested a second read on the biopsy before making any decisions. We asked the urologist about this and he said, yes some people choose to do that but my...
Very interesting article and rings very true. I am the wife and I am reaching out to others to vent my thoughts and fears, researching, questioning and worrying enough for both of us. He is coping...
Re: getting slides read elsewhere we asked the uro about that. He said his pathologist trained at Johns Hopkins and he has never seen a path report change when sent out. ?? Husband is going surgery...
I know hindsight is 20/20 and it does no good to look back but I can't help but question this whole PSA thing. My husband went to the gp every year, it's what you are supposed to do right? When doc...
Thank you all for the words of encouragement! Lupron Jim. For the past 5 years his psa never was below 3.4 and never higher than 3.7. His last one was 3.6 over a year ago. We now know that all of...
So we had the visit with the RO today. My freak out over the bone scan was just as you all said, cya for the radiologist. He reviewed the scans and said it was a common incidental finding and not at...
Thank you everyone! We are meeting with the RO this afternoon who is reviewing everything. Praying for good news and some peace of mind, as much as can be possible at the beginning of a cancer...
Jerry, looks like you would know about that, and looks like they zapped it good! Looks like you are doing well!...
Yes, unnerving is correct, although dr did say mets are common in the pelvis this particular area, not so much, so that made me feel a little better too. Talking to a RO on Monday and he has all the...
Allen, you hit the nail on the head. My husband is coping way better than I am. I am normally a rational person but I feel like I am losing it right now....
Told by the urologist we are dealing with a low volume, highly treatable T1c cancer. We asked about the bone scan and ct scan results. He said something came up on the bone scan, but it was almost...
*freaking me out!...
Well thank you everyone for the great advice and encouraging words. The only thing creaking me out right now is the bone scan that the dr said was nothing. Report says: on spect imaging of the...
Thanks Andrew! We are talking to a radiation oncologist next. You guys are great. I'm feeling better already! Now to get hubby on here himself!...
That is so encouraging to hear Chuck! The guy we met with today says he has over 1000 under his belt. We are doing our homework! Curious about something Andrew said, they use the post op psa to rule...
Thank you all! We met today with a well known davinci surgeon and will also meet with a radiation oncologist. I think he is already leaning towards surgery. We plan to make a decision and get treated...
Hi all. My husband is newly diagnosed. He is 55 years young . Psa was 4.2. 2 cores of 12 positive 1 5% Gleason 3+3 and the other 15% Gleason 3+4. He had a bone scan and ct, and we met with the...
