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 am also a gleason 9 survivor. My docs as soon as I failed my first psa test 6 weeks after surgery put me on Lupron, then when I become mostly continent I started my radiation program. They indicated to me that this was the best protocol for my particular disease. So far it has apparently worked, as all my psa's since October of 2007 thru January of 2010 have been less than <.05%. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the .05's continue.....jwb.
