How are you guys getting Staged for your prostate cancer?

For me, it started 12 years ago at Mayo with a biopsy and a Gleason of 4+5. Stage 3. Looked at all my options and decided to have surgery after which they found cancer cells in a couple of the lymph nodes. That bumped me up to stage 4 metastasis.

I am Gleason Score 4 + 4 8 PSA 6.9, Biopsy 6 weeks ago full of cancer, CT and Bone Scan said no spread. I am a fit 70, having surgery to cut the little bastard out in 3 days. I have it at the margin, ie. like a basketball with cancer sticking to it on the outside. Took the Lupron shot that last 3 months late June. I am sure more Lupron and radiation after I recover from the surgery. On the Margin means some cancer will escape so want to poison it with radiation and starve cancer cells with Lupron. You are lucky to be above ground this long and hats off to you. Tell me more about your PC journey? My stomach has hurt on Lupron and a few other side effects.
