Hello Everyone, I just had my "other side" checked out. I had a colonoscopy today. I was overdue because my PCa treatment had lasted over two years. The test went well. The Doctor did remove two polups but was 99% sure they would not be cancerous. I am in the high risk group because my mother had CCa at the age of 37. Yes, she is fine and went to my test today. Like PCa, if any of you have family history of CCa please keep up on your test. I think I would rather have a prostate biopsy over doing the cleansing needed for the colonoscopy.
As far as my AUS and PCa everything is going very good. I am so thankful the AUS is working so well. I think my next PSA is in July. I wish all you "New Guys" well in your search, decision, and treatment option.
