Never heard of "burned out" cancer but it's something I'll have to have a look at given my own situation....
bbqdude - the uro told me that was only about 2% of my prostate. Got a long way to go before they remove it one core at a time....
Congratulations on the good news...
I doubt any surgeon would remove a prostate without a diagnosis of cancer and I'm sure no insurance would pay for that procedure. I have had 2 MRI's and both have found what the radiologist labeled a...
Thanks, Blackjack. Maybe there weren't 93 actual pokes, but I know there were a bunch. Now my only concern is my PSA will still be elevated from the biopsy in 6 months....
Good calculations Blackjack. I actually joked with the Doctor in recovery and he said he removed between 1-2% of my prostate during the biopsy. Shortest core I see listed is 0.2cm and longest is...
Thanks Michael, I'm going to stay on top of it. It's been several years since I had any Cipro and that didn't seem to budge the PSA number back then. I really don't have any symptoms and really none...
A world record? I'm famous for something! Anyone else here had any similar results or does anyone have any suggestions other than what I'm doing?...
The URO's have all said they have seen cases like mine but they are rare. The one that just did the saturation biopsy said, "we didn't find cancer but it doesn't mean it's not there." I did get the...
Just got the results of my saturation biopsy and they are all negative. I had another MRI early this year and the URO wanted to do another fusion biopsy. I was afraid that I'd end up with the exact...
Why would you say some form of treatment is needed? Looks like 5 biopsies and an MRI. I'm in a similar situation but my biopsies have all been negative....
Have your friend see if a genetic test can be done on the samples. I had the ConfirMDX test done and it saw nothing suspicious. I have another follow-up this Friday, but there is another biopsy in my...
Look at my signature, my urologist says he's seen a case like mine before but they are rare....
Nick, I actually have no symptoms at this time other than urgency when I drink coffee or beer. I sleep the entire night without waking up 6/7 nights a week. My prostate was about 49 grams based on...
Talk to your urologist and you may be able to have the ConfirmDX test done for no charge as I was. They are still trying to add to their data and from what I understand are offering for free in some...
