Mick J lives in British Columbia, Canada. He was 54 when he was diagnosed on May 19, 2008. His initial PSA was 11.8 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 8 and he was staged T1c. His choice of treatment was Radical prostatectomy. Here is his story.

 THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN JANUARY 2010 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

In February 2007 I went to see my doctor due to frequent night time trips to the washroom, he did a PSA test (3.0) and prescribed Flomax.

After a trip to Europe I went back to a refill on the meds and told him they were not doing any good. He sent me for another PSA test, said I was fine and told me the medication was the best available, i.e. there is nothing better.

In January 2008 after moving and visiting a second doctor, I had another PSA test which was 11.8 (up from 3.1 six months earlier). After some deliberating and advice I had a radical prostatectomy in July. Nine weeks later my PSA was 0.02
