Since 2015 When they recognized I had an enlarged prostate, I have had 2 rectal biopsies and two MRI’s. My last biopsy in August showed two cores of cancer. I had an RP in November and so far have had two blood tests showing a PSA of < 0.01. When this whole journey started I was scared to death that one day I would hear the “C” word. Since I joined this chat site I learned a lot about prostate cancer from fellow patients. It not only helped me to understand cancer but understand myself. When I learned of my cancer, my first comment to my wife was, “let’s keep learning and beat this crap”. After my RP, I learned my cancer was a higher risk than the biopsy showed. My attitude was, “I’m glad I got this done. Had I waited longer, it could have been much worse.” My point to you is to hope for the best, but prepare for less. If you have cancer, be glad they discovered it, and can put you on the best treatment possible. As my urologist said, prostate cancer is not the death sentence it was back in your Father’s Day. Keep a positive attitude, and praying won’t hurt you! Best of luck!
