prostate cancer- it's my turn
Yep on Monday of this week the doctor called me with the results of the biopsy..........cancer  . They took 12 samples and 9 were clean but three were not . The three that were not one had a Gleason score of six the other two had a score of 7 . My PSA was at 6.0 . I am 57 years old will be 58 in January. I have a follow up visit with the doctor this Monday to discuss treatment options. The doctor stated all indications are it has been found early. So for those of you in the know or for those of you that have gone through this what types of questions should I be asking the doctor ? I know there is robotic surgery, chemo or radiation plus a few others including do nothing at all. I'm not the type of guy that needs a pity party my attitude is I will get through this with the strength of my wife and family. I sure am glad I have stuck to a regiment of yearly physicals !!! My wife knows about it and today I told my brother but I haven't told my two sons yet. Not sure when the right time is I don't want them to worry about me. But they deserve to know maybe after I talk to the doctor on Monday. I'm off to mow the lawn will check back later
