I am 81 years old soon to turn 82. I’ve been fighting prostrate cancer now since 2001. I had a PSA number of 38 I was put on hormone treatment, which was very successful as it took my 38 PSA number to off the page in significant I was elated. I was off of the hormones for a year and went in for a routine blood test, my doctor came back in and said we need to discuss something. Your PSA jumped from nothing to 1.7 and I think your cancer is back I broke down. I had no thoughts that that’s what he was going to say. I thought I was doing great now I’ve had it metastasized into two lymph nodes. They did radiation on those two and I am now going to MD Anderson in Houston for a second opinion I don’t want to die of this cancer obviously but unless you’ve heard of MD Anderson, it is the number one cancer hospital in the United States and rates in the top three in the world so anyone out there that has this cancer or any cancer should think about going there I don’t know what my doctor is going to say but hopefully they have a trial or something I can get on as I’m back on the hormone that I first was on. They did work great but this time it’s taking longer to get the PSA numbers down I’m fearful of it going someplace else in my body which I know it will. We are all in God‘s hands and is his will not ours. I will let you know what MD ANDERSON says they have all of my medical records so they know where I’m at, and they accepted me as a patient you have to be accepted as I’m sure they get more people wanting to go there then they can handle. It’s so nice to be on here and read other people’s comments. God bless all of you.
