Early on in this journey with my spouse. A few things I have learned is looking for similar cases on the web makes my anxiety sky rocket. I had to stop. The wait for next steps is stressful, so much so that I had to start taking Xanax. Do what you need to do to maintain some level of sanity. I am learning I must take this journey one day at a time. Letting my mind think too far ahead takes my mind to dark what if scenarios. My husband had his biopsy and next step is Petscan and then consult with urologist that does nothing but prostrate cancer and then meeting with oncologist. Doctor already put my spouse on hormone meds, so far no bad side effects. At this point we have a positive attitude. Even with spread to lymph nodes it is treatable. I am praying for only localized spread. Glad to hear you do not have signs of lymph node spread. Because of lymph node spread they are telling my husband it’s treatable but not curable. He’s only 62 and will fight this with everything he has. He also is in good shape. I am angry at his PCP for not doing a digital exam over the past 10+ years. We have always went for annual physicals. Doc must of assumed since PSA was normal that digital was not needed. Not sure why docs started making that assumption.
