Hi, I was doing fine up to this morning when I saw my PSA and testosterone lab results. I guess you can see my situation and my treatments in my signature but here it is again. I'm 47 years old, two...
Sr Sailor, My team of Drs (RO, MO, Urologists) were all in agreement that there's over 80% chance of distant micrometastasis which ADT alone might not be able to fight. Union98, My MO and nurses have...
Thank you again Jerry. Happy Thanksgiving....

Thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I needed to hear around the holidays. I was diagnosed with G9 on Feb 17 at 44 years old, the same age as you when you're diagnosed. It would be really nice...
Thank you again guys. I received my GA68PSMA PET report today and no signs of spread outside of prostate which is very unusual considering my prostate is entirely G9 cancer but nothing has escaped....
Thank you all. Tall Allen, I got my GA68PSMA PET/CT scan at UCLA. They are offering it to high risks since last Dec and it costs $2650. They said most insurance would cover $1,595 of it which is the...

Hi Hero, I started this thread. How do you manage your emotional state? http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&m=3805428...
I have been diagnosed with G9 PCa 3 weeks ago. The first week was very tough. I couldn't sleep or function at all since I have two young kids and I'm 45 years old and never see it coming. I'd thought...
I received Dr. Epstein's report and he has graded everything 9, most at 100% and a few at 80% and 90%. I spoke to Dr. Finely briefly over the phone and he suggested to do a new PET Scan at UCLA on...
Thank you Herophilus for checking up on me. The very first Dr. prescribed Casodex before my biopsy so I waited to get the confirmation. I have a phone appointment with Dr. Finely tomorrow and...

Thanks Herophilus. Im doing fine physically but a mess mentally and emotionally. I didn't have to take any antibiotics bc the procedure is not done through rectum. It was the most awkward experience...
After researching a bit online about my back condition which is ankylosing spondylitis I found out there is an association between noninfectious chronic prostatitis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. That...
You are right Elsa68 but I assume he thought DRE wouldn't change the result much since it was initially very high. Tall Allen, I was looking for the sign and symptoms of prostatitis and couldn't find...
Thank you all for your responses. I forgot to mention I was tested for any infection and all came negative and both Drs looked at the results. Now I was going through Kaiser Dr's and I found a much...
