[QUOTE="hunter966, post: 4132471, member: 4952"] I haven’t read this entire thread so excuse me if this has been said. I too have/had prostrate cancer and the doc I went to gave me the same options PLUS cryo surgery. With cryo, they just go in and freeze parts of the prostrate where the cancer cells are and not have to go through chemo, radiation or even complete removal. I had my 1st biopsy and they did 15 total and 13 of them came up hot. 6 months after cryo surgery until today( almost 5 years ago) and my PSA has only risen 1 point. I was concerned and my doc said the prostate is still a living organ. On my second biopsy they did 8 and none were hot. Just a heads up for you guys who think you’re too modest about having your PSA taken and especially getting you’re prostrate tested with “the finger” GET OVER YOUR MODESTY! It could save you some headache down the road. [/QUOTE]
