Hello All, Appointment with urologist went pretty much as expected. No surprise that he recommended radiation for the G9 and PSM. I pushed back a little and he related that his uncle is seeing the...
FWIW - This thread reminds me that I should have spent more time with my Dad when he was going through his PCa. I only lived 6 hours away but was rather absorbed with work and my boys In high school...
iPoop - The MRI is pretty cut and dry about the cancer now, two PIRADS 5 lesions abutting the boundary of the prostate. My guess is if he had a MRI guided biopsy at those lesions, G7 cancer would be...
Thanks for the responses, good stuff. halbert - That is the million dollar question, to delay or not. I swear I read something about the odds being a little better with early radiation treatment and...

Interesting, I am reading up on it now. Seems to have a lot of merit but the procedure seems rather intensive at this point with a lot of steps, must take a while to do. Another benefit would be in...
BOB - Are you sure this is possible with an MRI assuming metal tools are used? I had a radiologist do a thyroid biopsy with ultrasound imaging which does seem to be the right way to do it though....
Welcome and take your time now, lots to read and lots of good people here helping other people. Good to hear you made it through the surgery and catheter out day with minimal problems. Good start to...
I thought I heard “I’m too tired” from my wife once......
Just went through that on Tuesday. There was an email notice from urologist office when I got home. I did not access the site until that evening. I had too much to do and did not want to ruin the...
