Jim Cain lives in California, USA. He was 74 when he was diagnosed in April, 2016. His initial PSA was 4.20 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 6, and he was staged T2a. His initial treatment choice was Surgery (Robotic Laparoscopic Prostatectomy) and his current treatment choice is None. Here is his story.

THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2018 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

My Gleason score was 4+3at initial biopsy. The second opinion from John Hopkins Lab was 3+3. I then had a guided MRI biopsy at UCLA with all samples at 3+3. I had 3 cores with cancer, 2 over 50%. After sessions with two surgeons and two radiation oncologists I with my wife decided on RP. My surgery was in 10/2016. I had negative margins and Gleason 3+3 biopsy of my removed prostate. I have had three PSA tests post surgery, two undetectable but the last one detectable at .02. I also had a Prolaris Test done on my removed prostate. It's result was a 23% chance of biochemical recurrence in ten years. I am mildly concerned about my next PSA test in 10/2017. I am on the three month schedule for PSA tests for the first two years after surgery. I am not sure that my cancer was cured with surgery. It took me 3.5 months to overcome incontinence.
