I'm not supposed to see my doctor for results until 8/7, but the hospital sent me results and I see the word adenocarcinoma, so I assume I'm facing a cancer diagnosis. I'll reach out to the doctor and some others on Monday to make sure I'm not jumping to a conclusion. Patience may be a virtue but it doesn't feel like it this morning.

The next step perhaps is a PET scan which will identify the location olf the cancer; then a biopsy to determine Gleason and "T" level. Obtain all the facts, then proceed with decisional options.

This site is excellent for exchanging information. Good luck
