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.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
I don't understand what you are trying to say here.
According to the brief information you have given in your Experience post at RIP SMITH you were considering RALP for what is likely what is termed an insignificant disease defined as being:
1. Nonpalpable
2. Stage T1c
3. Percent free PSA 15 or greater
4. Gleason less than 7
5. Less than three needle cores with none greater than 50% tumour.
If that is the case, why would your be considering ADT as an option - which is what this article is about? And what opinions are you seeking? You're most likely a candidate for AS - and thus avoid the question of over-treatment altogether.
