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.
In an earlier posting, I mentioned that my PSA started rising 30 months after brachytherapy in June 2011. It rose slowly from 0.1 to 0.4 over a period of 18 months. Then in the last one year it rose from 0.4 to 1.5. I had an appointment with urologist today. He found hardness in my prostate in DRE. I also felt some pain when he pressed on the hard part. A biopsy has been scheduled for August 31. I have very reason to assume that the biopsy would be positive. So I need to think of treatment options.
