I had a prostate biopsy performed a couple weeks ago. A follow up appointment was made for 2 weeks after. I couldn't keep that appointment so I rescheduled for Oct 29. The Dr called yesterday wanting to know if I missed the appointment or if I cancelled it. I told him I had to re-schedule. He told me the results were back and he wanted to talk to me and asked if he could do so then on the phone. I said this sounds ergent so go ahead. He said they took 14 biopsys and one showed cancer. He said we caught it very early and that was good but I needed to get in to discuss treatment options. Will try to re-schedule again for an earlier date at his request. I'm really not too worried as he painted a good picture being it was caught early. But then he said surgury would be a tough route because of the colon re-section I had and scare tissue would be an issue. So is it bad enough to warrant surgury? I don't know, I think he was just talking about all options. I guess I will find out more when I go in. __________________
Catching it early is a good thing, surgury is probably going to be the last option. I am glad they found it now man. your in my thoughts
My father in law just beat this very thing. With an early diagnosis they can and will take care of you.
Rick..My uncle had it taken care of at 71 years old, and he is fine today at 75. My Mom beat early breast cancer....lots of good treatments available today! God Bless and good Luck. Prayers coming your way!
Sorry to hear that Rick, its great that they caught it early and glad to see that you are in good mindset for it.
