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.
Walt:
I received my test result yesterday, my score was -0.1 which is right in the middle of the scale (54 % of patients in the AUA low risk category have a lower Prolaris score).
My 10-year mortality risk is 2% if managed conservatively (managed conservatively not defined).
My anxiety level is a little lower today. I think I will stay the course. Still have not decided if I should have another biopsy at my first anniversary coming up Aug 3rd.
