Yep, So that limits me to EBRT or RALP. I'm pretty certain I'm choosing SBRT at this point. Will be calling to get the insurance ball rolling Friday to give me a bit of time to mull it over and try...
He was talking seeds and said the smaller prostate would cause difficulties only going after the targeted areas. It could be done, but he didn't recommend it. The urologist said similar, but was more...
Met with another RO last week. SBRT is an option as well as RALP and IMRT. Brachytherapy isn't recommended because of the small prostate volume. He also told me I would most likely have to receive...
Thanks for this, there isn't a lot of info out there for us younger guys, or the younger age ranges are such a small subset of the overall data that you can't make any conclusions on how age factors....
I now eat way less red meat and dairy, far more turkey, chicken, and fish, much more vegetables, fresh fruit, very little sugary stuff, avoid fried foods, etc. When I was diagnosed, I was bordering...

I was diagnosed at 40. During a physical, I asked for PSA due to strong family history. Came back at 4.2. Decided to have a biopsy to have a more definitive picture, a few days after Christmas I got...
It's been about 3 months since my diagnosis and I'm still undecided on what treatment, if any, I will be having. I have more testing scheduled in May, but the waiting is difficult. The fear of the...
Thanks for all the information. I'm in a much better head space today and feel I have the beginnings of a plan....

I'm in Lexington, KY. I checked the Society of Urologic Oncology, but they have no member doctors in the state....
I received the results of my biopsy today, and now must start deciding what will be the correct course of treatment for me. My doctor said I basically had 4 options. AS, herbal, radiation, or RP. He...
