I had 3 positive cores on the 1st bx and 4 the on 2nd bx a year later. The 4 on the 2nd one were all on the apex side. I work with a medical urologist and a urology surgeon and it doesn't seem to...
Good luck and positive thoughts....
From this article. "Back in June scientists revealed that men could soon be offered a new one-off prostate cancer test that could detect whether they are likely to develop a dangerous form of the...
Thanks for these links. Yes a nationally ranked hospital is a good thing....
Hello Vic, How many cores from the 2/21/19 were positive? Also, what were the volume % of each of those positive cores? That MRI looks good....
BBQdude. I like to go 10 days just out of being extra conservative. I wouldn't panic. FWIW, I was also told that unless the MRI showed a Pi Rads 4 or higher, it wouldn't be useful to have an MRI...
I'm currently going to Emory St. Joseph's as well and am presently following AS. I'm glad to hear your case went well....
Hello Hugo, My PSA is known to bounce around a bit. Definitely keep an eye on it and keep a record....

Wow that’s a dramatic improvement I’d say. Good news....

JH confirming a GS 6 is good news. I'm not sure about the 70% however. Regarding the timing of the MRI, I had my MRI 14 weeks after my bx. I know that they wouldn't do a surgery in that period of...
Hello mufjem, In my case, I was able to skip a biopsy this year and than plan is to do an 3TmpMRI annually. There seems to be a slight shift away from biopsies as long as the annual MRI and quarterly...
I'm on AS at Emory University/St. Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta. My PSA is known to bounce around as well. Good to hear from you again. My second MRI turned out better than the first. Good luck....
