diagnosed just 2 yrs ago, low-grade/low-volume (<1% of 1 of 12 samples). Additional complication: low T. Have been on andro for several yrs for (age 56). Uro/surgeon aggressively recommended surgery....
It's been quite some time since I posted. I was the low grad/volume guy - who in the face of declining PSA canceled surgery (thread above). Biopsy showed <1% of 1 of 12 samples. I am also the guy...
Last November I was diagnosed with a low grade/low volume PCa. It was less than 1% of 1 of 12 samples. The biospy was done after my PSA went from 1.3 to 3.0 in an 8 month span. The biopsy was double...
I want to thank all who responded. I am always quick to say I am grateful for an early diagnosis - and realize there are many guys out there who would trade places. Having said that - it doesn't make...
Age 55. In November I was diagnosed with low grade, low volume PCa. My PSA had jumped from 1 to 3 from March to October of last year. Biopsy = < 1% of 1 of 12 samples. Gleason 3+3. Second biopsy read...
What's the latest Ricky? As a "low volume, low grade" patient myself, I am curious how you're doing, and which course you're on. I've about talked myself out. 2nd urologist opinion, my primary, back...
The value of this group . . . cases remarkably similar. I am 55 yrs. old: had an even lower "low grade""low level" 1% of 1/12 samples, gleason 6 diagnosed on Nov. 23. All the options were layed out,...
I just had a second opinion from a Uro who admits he himself doesn't do robotic but called it vastly superior, 3D imaging etc....
Thanks Jim and Swim. I've been doing the small dose since Tuesday. I feel at least like I'm not scraping the floor. Both your last comments are appreciated. The Uro may have allowed this due to the...
Anybody else? Low T - PCa? My Uro sent me for a blood test for baseline T. and had me return to 2.5 g Andro to help what has been an terrible withdrawal from HRT. 2.5 isn't much - but I'm grateful...
I am very grateful for the early detection. The "hormone effect" (or the two edged sword of both) has just been an added short/long-term blow....
Swimom, thanks for that. How old is Paul. The Uro obviously supported the return to HRT?...
Gotta have a sense of humor about this stuff. I had it numbed with a shot and 12 'samples' taken. Made small talk with the Uro. It was the day of game 5 of the world series, late in the afternoon. He...
Thanks very much... I figure I can't be the only one out there!...
Please help. I have recently been diagnosed with early pc. Age 55. PSA 3 (jumped from 1 in 8 mos.). Biopsy 1 in 12 (one side), gleason 6. I have not yet decided on brachytherapy or robotic. There is...
