THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2018 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.
On October 13 2015 I was told I had stage 4 prostate cancer.
On December 17 2015 I had surgery which took 6.5 hours to clean out the margin area. Never had a PSA that dropped to 0. Never took any hormonal drugs and was told that was the only way to cure the prostate cancer. The problem that I had was that in August 2015 I had renal failure, which complicated everything.
Today treating an elevated PSA with no drugs and quality of life is pretty good considering all that has happened. This is a great place for information. Thank you for your efforts to help people that are in turmoil with prostate cancer.
Education is your Best defense. Tom
