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.

If I could add a few more points to what others have said. G6 cancers are not aggressive. They rarely matastize and the 20 year death rate for untreated g6 is about 5%. G6 cancers have a built in DNA that makes them a G6. G6s don't mature to a higher grade, any higher grade are due to new tumors, not G6s changing; a G6 cannot get more aggressive, it is what it is.
Any doctor that treated a 79 year old for a newly Dxed G6 should be prosecuted for malpractice.
You should definately get a second opinion from a respected doctor that specializes in prostate cancer and cancel your treatments until you have had a chance to learn more about your situation.
