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.

Re: Post surgery follow ups

It was from the chapter on 'watchful waiting' Terry. He went on to say that from a study of 84 patients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center on watchful waiting " on average" they lost only 1% a year probability of their cancers remaining curable. Results varied of course. Small study yet sounds like a positive one for the option of watchful waiting to me - but you would be able to better guage this than myself. This book is the best I've ever read on this topic of Prostate cancer as he takes the time to explain things in such a way that non medical people can better grasp.
