This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

My doctor is Dr. Drachenbery in Winnipeg. I have not had a PSA as I just had my treatment on March 29, 2008. Before hormome therapy my PSA was 9.9 in Sept 2007 but the hormome therapy reduced the PSA to 0.2. Dr.Dachenberg wants me to have a biopsy in a year from the procedural date due to the cancer being in the apex of the prostate. I am leaning towards MRIS/MRI but at the moment as what I have read indicates there is considerably more accuracy to this test but I do not know of any place in Canada that does it.
