Thanks clanda, He has certainly expressed serious interest in that choice, and I don't think it would necessarily be a bad one, watchful waiting until something dramatic may change his mind....
Thanks for the responses keep them coming. TA, I'm familiar with the transperineal (grid) mapping biopsy, I have talked with Julian about that maybe the next logical step. Not familiar with the PHI...
WG, Thanks for the reply. Don't think any of these circumstances are issues. Hope to hear from others with 3 plus biopsies and their outcomes. Anybody out there who has had PSA this high and multiple...
I'm posting for my 74 year old neighbor, Julian, who is computerless and needs some advice. His first ever PSA test was 5, about four to 5 years ago. Starting rising about two plus years ago to it's...

Another question. "mets" has been mentioned a couple of times in these response posts. I assume this means metastasis. How is that diagnosed? Does 5 years seem like a long time for a recurrence to...
Thanks for all the responses. Very informative. Please keep them coming. I spent a lot of time reading on this forum back in 2008 during my recovery. The value of your advice and opinions based on...
I'm posting for a friend who doesn't have a computer. We both had RP surgery about six years ago. His urologist said the PC was confined after the surgery. His PSA has been zero until recently. The...
I started taking this product two months ago and it works amazingly well. My laundry basket has never smelled better. It's an "internal deodorant", works on all body fluids, sweat, urine, bad breath,...

Hey Bud, Had PCa and have same symptoms. My problem is cervical discs (worn out from a life of working as a carpenter). Wouldn't think your symptoms are related to PCa. An MRI on your cervical spine...
