What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

I just turned 89, two years after a majority colectomy conducted to remove tumors just inside the beginning of my colon and in the second sharp turn at the top left near my spleen and 15 years after removal of several tumors on the lining of my bladder. I'm pleased to be a cancer survivor coping with inefficient digestion. resulting weight loss of 40 pounds, and hypertension. On Tuesday I'll be bowling in my league, averaging 160, after a one-year interruption in 19 years of team competition with friends from our community. Martin

Hey James, in 2020 diagnosed (PSA 5) .. MRI showed two PIRADS three lesions, fusion biopsy showed several cores of Gleason 6 in each of those lesions- Started AS. Next MRI and biopsy showed the same. Third MRI in 2024 showed only one lesion! I'm thinking things are at least status quo, but biopsy showed Gleason 6 in the lesion, and 4 of the non targeted cores surprisingly showed 3-3+4=7, and 1-4=4=8 cores. None of the three MRI's or PSMA PET scan noted any of the higher grade lesions, psa remained stable throughout. Catheter is a nuisance but tolerable. Low genomic score is only good news. RP on 9/16 went smoothly with little pain or complications, until last night ended up in ER overnight due to severe bladder spasms with spurting bloody urine out around cath entry point. Meds are helping. Scheduled for cath removal on 9/24. Still waiting pathology report.
How are you doing brother?

Prayer Precious Blood of Jesus please Heal me

I think overall yoru doing well! You just had RP on 9/16/'24 , so it takes some time . Pathology will be interesting . get a hard copy of that for sure !! You need that copy to talk to the doctors too ! So mainly 3+4= 7 was found in cores ?
Yes the catheter is not fun - but gone soon! What was yoru PSA going into operation again ?
Im doing fine Post RP and a year after at 0.14 PSA I had 22 sessions of External beam radiation ( EBRT) . No ADT . That was 2 years ago . Now im at 0.040 ! The radiation acts slow , but the results are good I think. I speak to RO and urologist in 2 weeks . God Bless Tom . Keep me in the loop of you developments . James on Vancouver Island .

@rudy904, how are you doing? How are you doing on Lupron?

@rhenderson, that's a bittersweet "accident". Have you found out when you'll be having surgery yet? Any questions as you prepare?

Meeting with surgeon at the end of October

I am 38 years old and diagnosed with Gleason 3+3 as of a week ago. I did random bloodwork at the start of the year that included PSA (a test I didn't know about). It showed a high PSA (4.2) which led me to the urologist. Another PSA test of (4.7) and a biopsy was ordered. Results show Clinical stage T1c, Gleason grade 1, PSA 4.7.

@jeremy904, I'm glad that that cancer was caught so early. I bet neither you nor your doctor were expected the biopsy to come back positive at your age. What treatment has been recommended?

77. Diagnosed 3 years ago G9, locally advanced aggressive and told incurable. PSA .01 since surgery 2.5 years ago
