Trying to get perspectives on what comes next

I found that getting educated quickly on the facts of treatments and next steps was most helpful. Dr. Patrick Walsh’s book, “Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer,” along with the online information at the Prostate Cancer Foundation (pcf.org) and Prostate Cancer Research Institute (pcri.org), provide you step by step recommendations and questions to ask. As importantly, you want to be treated by the best available doctors at prostate cancer centers of excellence, such as Mayo Clinic. A list of these is also available online. As recommended by others, after a biopsy and Decifer test, you will have better information to start asking the right questions. Also, know that even if your biopsy confirms prostate cancer, most cases of prostate cancer are curable. One step at a time and keep doing all of the healthy things that you have been doing, because they make any treatments much easier to recover from.
