Mag E May posted for the first time in another thread. Welcome to HW, sorry you have to be here, but we're glad you came. He said:

I feel I am about to join a exclusive club. I was diagnosed with PC in November. I am doing a lot of reading and this is the first forum I am on. 66 years old 5.3 PSA and Gleason rate of 7.

I am leaning toward robotic surgery (DaVinci). It is very interesting reading the different thought patterns from each of you.

Hello Mag E May - sorry you have reason to be here, but welcome to the group. I've learned much and received a lot of encouragement here. I'm confident you will also.

Another Welcome - You probably would be happier being a member of about any other club than this one, but then we're not given much of a choice.

If we can be of help, speak up.

Welcome Mag,

You found a great place to learn a lot about the treatment of PC and the possible side effects. This is a very supportive group. Don't be turned off by the occaisional "dust up"....happens in all groups to some degree when people feel strongly about a subject. Glad you found this site....hope find eit as helpful as I did over a year ago.

I didn't take Goucho Marx's advice- 'I wouldn't join a club that would have me as a member' !

Since PCa is now part of our brotherhood, W.C. Fields has words of wisdom for us- 'Youth is wasted on the Young' (how true, how true)

Suggestion on PCa.....question everything and read the fine print and don't eat Spinach with a stranger (LOL).

Welcome to the group, your stats look like will have have lots of options for your choice of treatment. The making choice is difficult and this is a good place to find out what others experiences have been. Good luck and sorry this has come at a time when your focus should be on other things.

Ron
