Just got news that I have prostate cancer
Posted , 7 users are following.
i just got the results from my biopsy, out of 12 tissue samples 10 were benign. 2 were cancerous 1 reading 3-3 and the other 3-4. Leaning towards active surveillance but urologist based on the fact that I'm 60 and in good health was leaning towards treatment. Any opinions?

However, a MRI conducted as part of a PAE pre-operative showed an area of concern. A MRI guided Biopsy (Transperineal Fusion Biopsy) showed a surprising result of Gleason score 4+4=8.
My advice is to pay for a MRI and be sure.
I am about to choose Robotic Radical Prostatectomy as the cancer is localised, and I'd like to live a little longer!

It sounds to me that in your case active surveillance is a good option. I would find out what treatment your urologist is proposing (brachytherapy, operation, radiation, hormone?) and learn all I can about its success rate by googling, talking to friends and getting at least a second, if not a third, opinion.
