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.
Bill; Glad to see some other insight given on your subject. Mike makes some good points. Treatment for possibly nothing is not wise. Every treatment carries risks and effects and so is not to be undertaken lightly. Each procedure is different for each of us. I would like to think your reading is coming from innocent tissue possibly left behind, and that is completely possible if they were conservative with the first treatment. Hopefully with close monitoring you can get an idea about the source of your PSA reading. No advice here of course only to say I am sorry you have been put into this questionable position - possibly for no serious reason. Sounds like you are watching it and preceding with care. Let's hope it turns out to be normal. Jon.
