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.
Ted:
In the absence of any other, more authoritative responses, I will provide a few (layman's) thoughts for your consideration:
--You may or may not have PCa so it's a bit early to talk in terms of a cure
--One factor you did not mention is how quickly your PSA is rising. A doubling time of less than a year is more worrisome than a more rapid ascension
--I fully understand your concern having personally grappled with PCa for far too many years
--While you wait to know the outcome of your tests, spend your time wisely. If you have not already done so, begin your research effort to determine what treatment options you might wish to consider.
Best wises Don O.
