Prostate cancer

High psa, when they found my cancer it was in the high 1500s it had gone to lynph nodes bones(pelvis, spine & ribs) & lung.

That was Feb 2016 gleason 8 by Feb 18 psa was 0.03 its gone up slightly now, Jan 19th its now0. 4 specialist says to leave it till it gets to 20 then I have some more kemo. I've wrote this to show that some things do work I am now 67 I was working up to 4months ago metal welding and fabrication, but I have had to stop to look after my disabled wife.

 

  • Hi Billygoat

  • Hi Brian (woodworm) not sure what to call you, you were very lucky. I have to a friend his psa was 7 he had a choice of radiotherapy or operation, he was warned to have rad and he could not have op later something about it damages prostate to make op very orquard. He opted for the op they still have to take some lymph nodes out as well, that was about 2 years ago he is fine now & all clear.

  • Hi Billygoat, 

    Yes I have bben very lucky indeed. I had two years on hormone therapy plus 37 radiotherapy sessions and my psa which was 70 when diagnose tumbled down to 0.01

    The only sypotom I had was when I retired, and i herd water running into our metal sink, I had to run too. It was my wifw who made me go to the doc inthe end so it was caught early so I have been double luck

    Take care and I hope your PSA doesnt get any higher, regards, Brian

  • Hi Brian I have noticed you do a lot of good work replying to people, I know it helps. I hope you don't mind but did you have the other test on prostate I can't remember the name but my results were t3b n1 m1b. I have problem at home at the moment my wife can't walk at all now has to be helped every wear, doc's can't find anything wrong. Hope you don't mind me telling you my problems, hope you're feeling OK.

    My wife also has lots of health problems plus she has to put up with me ha ha. So I do understand what you are going through. It cant be east especially when you have to go for appointments/check up etc. 

    The only thing I was told was my PSA was 70 and the gleeson scor was 3+3=6 

    Hope they can find out what your wifes problem is
