Phil
Z and Asher live in Israel. He was 65 when he was diagnosed on November 27, 2007.
His initial PSA was 2.69 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 3+3=6 and he was staged
T1c. He is undecided as to his choice of treatment was . Here is his story.
Not
much to tell at this point- loads of questions. I'm working on a list to take
to my next visit with the urologist.
It's
now May, about 6 months since I was diagnosed. I've seen my urologist again and
he's supportive but a little leary since one of my cores showed 20-40% cancer.
He felt that this is a little high for active surveillance but agreed we could
hold off at least until it's time to do another biopsy (one year after the first).
He's doing a bunch of blood tests to supplement the information we now have.
I'm
feeling very good and, in my mind, making plans for the treatment if it turns
out that I'll need that. I hope the signs point us to maintaining active surveillance.
