64 and recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, options?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (24)Comment receiving replies
Thanks for information, still processing info. Looks like Gleason 8 on 4 of 12, Gleason 7 on 2, all on right side, left side benign. What is best way to find out if my Urologist and/or treatment center is good? Limited options here in Savannah, Ga. Mayo clinic in Jacksonville, 2 hrs. Not sure who/how to initiate other specialists. Starting to research.

PSA level, testosterone level?
Hang in there, brother, don't lose heart. The most important thing is to start the right and timely treatment! Post your test results here. We're with you!
@lwhines I wouldn’t hesitate to drive the 2 hours to either. I gladly drive about that far for my 6 month follow-ups at Mayo Rochester. It is not just about your first treatment, it matters for if there is recurrence. Centers of Excellenc are going to be up to speed on all the latest options I made one call to the urology dept at Mayo and they will walk you thru getting a second opinion.
@lwhines I'm near Savannah too, went to urologist there, had old fashioned random TRUS biopsy. I went to Mayo clinic Jacksonville for treatment and thank God everyday for that!

@lwhines
You have two good choices from my limited knowledge.
Mayo in Jacksonville and City of Hope in Newnan Georgia.
I would not hesitate to drive from Savannah to either of those locations.
