duke48 Posts : 208 Posted 2/24/2024 8:35 AM (GMT -8) From what I've read on this forum Epstein brought this on himself. Don't blame the university. What an ignorant post. You know nothing of what...
Latest PSA <0.03....just like to post to offer the new guys hope..... I still check in to see how everyone is doing.... Hope the best for all....
Just got my 13 year PSA and <0.03...... Still feel for and understand those who struggle with this but also want to encourage others that good results can be had....
12 years.......
Just wanted to encourage the newly diagnosed....I was diagnosed at 43 years old and had RP. I fully appreciate our brothers who are dealing with advanced disease, but as I said....it would have been...
Sounds too good to be true 15 out of 16 men cancer free after a year...but if it really works through targeting like they claim...you could be treated with no side effects and then proceed to AS...
This is not "focal" therapy....the nano-particles are given intra-venously (sp) and then using a receptor target circulate through the blood stream and attach to the cancer cells when found. It is...
If I were diagnosed today with low or medium risk PCA I would seek a trial out from these guys... https://nanospectra.com/technology/ I don't know how the news missed this....I am a very skeptical...
How do you know your not <0.01....you are <0.05....if 0.05 is your labs limit then you could also be <0.01. I have always been <0.03....that is as low as my lab goes.....
Sent you an email last week...let me know if you did not get it....
your are not 70 years old...you are 70 years young.......
https://prostatecancerinfolink.net/2018/12/19/is-gleason-6-prostate-cancer-really-more-lethal-in-black-men/ This one is funny..... But the main point is the Johns Hopkins data...if you are newly...
dude....i am over 10 years out with the exact same story as you....had surgery at Johns Hopkins as well.....you are in the clear...."don't look back" is now my favorite song from Boston.... we both...
Brachy, I am not trying to be insensitive to your case. I fully understand this thread is about your situation and not a debate over G6 which has occurred on this forum again and again and again........
Once and for all....... Jasper- Your PCA is not classified like your fathers was....the Gleason system has been revised since he as diagnosed...G6 today is much lower risk than it was back...
Hey Jim....the statements were necessary....it is critically important to counter the mis-guided opinions of the member I referred to for the benefit of the newly diagnosed. It was fear mongering...
First of all I would like to say I can't believe some of the unsupported statements made in this thread. There is NO evidence that Gleason score is not a valid gauge of agressivness of PCA. You can...
Got my 10 year PSA today and <0.03....hope everyone else is well....just want to offer encouragement to the newly diagnosed..... RP 10/2008 Organ Confinged Gleason 6...
Best doctor in the country for neuroendocrine cancers. I did a lot of research when I thought a friend had this. Dr. Eugene Woltering https://www.ochsner.org/doctors/eugene-woltering Knows more about...
Subdenis, I my other post from Koltz AS program they will do AS on some 3+4 and have for a long time. I also found it interesting that Epstein state organ confined G6 will not metastasize or cause...
Koltz https://grandroundsinurology.com/active-surveillance-from-biology-to-bedside/...
Good article for those who want to decide on AS. Interview from Epstein, Hassain and Chapman. Also talks about whether or not Gleason 6 is a cancer or not.....Again.......
Why haven't the mods. locked this thread already....this is insane.......
I was thinking it operated on the methane gas produce naturally by his body....how do they connect that Allen?...
So, just to split hairs.................. No prostate cancer in the (small, random) samples he examined. That’s good to hear, but don’t lose sight of the big picture: PC is a natural part of...
Epstein wrote the book on pathology....If he says you don't have cancer, then you don't.....You can bank on it....
I don’t put any stock in any of these stats. I’ve read so many contriidictong research papers on this crap. The associations made in these studies are so loose it’s incredible. The researchers have...
What is the first thing you do when you buy rental property? NOTHING! That is the same thing you should do. Any doctor that wants to treat you with anything other than AS, you should run from. If...
LifeCointosses.... I am just the messenger. However, I agree with you I would recommend that everyone read or watch the video and decide for yourself what Klotz is saying. I am assuming your quoting...
No specific back pain is synonymous with Prostate cancer. It is extremely extremely extremely unlikely your issue has prostate cancer I would put it out of my mind and look for another cause if I...
Interesting lecture from Klotz. G6 diagnosed in the new era, post 2005 ISUP, having zero metastatic potential. https://grandroundsinurology.com/active-surveillance-from-biology-to-bedside/...
I will send you an email later this morning with all the docs I have on G6.....hope you are relaxing this weekend........
jmurph......you are getting caught up in the same thing I did when I was first dx....You read all this stuff about all these natural remedies stopping cancer in a lab....you will even read about this...
Jmurph.....I was 42 when diagnosed as well..I am 52 now...yea it's been almost 10 years..PSA has been <0.3 ever since surgery at Johns Hopkins.....same stats. as you except I think I had 5 cores...
Uh....the OP was G7....not G6....
Hogo2000, Any update? Was just wondering what was going on..... Hope all is well......
I would have my post-op pathology re-read at Johns Hopkins or Bostwick. In the 10 years I have been on this forum you are only the 3rd person with OC G6 that I have seen with BCR. Neither of the...
Island time. What Tall Allen says is correct. That is why I asked your Gleason score at the Margin. I am surprised the RO at Johns Hopkins is pushing you like this. He must want a new car. I believe...
This was at Hopkins? Sounds odd to me. Do you know what the Gleason score was at your margin? I’ve read studies from Walsh that says this is important. If it was G6 you may be able to avoid HT and...
Yea, it is true he had PCA....I didn't say he didn't....Nothing has said PCA was the cause of death. It's a little pre-mature to be making this assumption yet.......
Steve, The fact that someone referred you to a surgeon with your biopsy results is almost criminal. You need to start reading everything you can on (3+3=6) and 1 core positive. I would put off...
Sunbird - Where are you guys getting this? Every press report states "he died suddenly and no cause of death was given or confirmed." There has not been a confirmed cause of death yet or even a...
wrong....wrong....wrong.....nothing you stated is true..... PC is no more aggressive in young men than old....in fact I have seen studies that state the opposite... I was 43 and Grade Group 1 or...
Dnny, I went through the exact same feelings that you are going through. I was dx. at 43. (9 years ago/I am 52 now) It was an earth shattering devastating blow that nobody can understand except those...
BTW. Your .04 was a lab error. I had one of those to. A 0.04. I retested the next week and it came back <0.03. This was a couple of years ago. I was 42 at diagnosis....
I can tell you this "we can do this".....after 9 years of <0.03 and also being a G6 post op. I don't even think about it anymore. I have read every medical study I can find and I come to the same...
Just had my annual test. Hoping the best for everyone here....
Your not having recurrence...not with that pathology....I have the same pathology as you....I have been <0.03 for the last 9 years....last summer I had a life insurance physical for work....Quest did...
You got lucky again....over 99% of these tumors are benign.....nothing to worry about.........
What's the first thing you do when you buy rental property......NOTHING. That's the same thing you should do. Your PSA is not really high for your age. Did you obstain from ejaculating 72 hours...
