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.
When my PSA climbed to almost 11 a few years ago, I found myself in pretty much the same place as you now are now, facing difficult decisions and in a steep learning curve.
May I suggest you read my story (Sundog), where you will not only be able to read of my experience (what I did and how it worked out for me), but also see comments from our original host of this website, Terry.
All the best to you, let us know how things work out, and remember the main point of this wonderful website – Don’t Panic!
Hi Sundog, Thanks so much for sharing your story. I read it the other day, but was so crazed, it didn't register. After reading it again, it has helped calm us down so much. My doctor is on vacation so I haven't spoken to him since I got the 9.0 results. He won't be back till the 13th, but we've made 2 appointments with specialists for mid June(first we could get), just in case. My prostate is also enlarged and I start medication on Monday. Hopefully, we'll copy your results. Again,thanks for sharing. We'll let you know what happens.
