In July I had a 1.2 PSA Now my PSA is 7.8. The urologist said he could repeat the PSa, But , after doing the finger exam he said he felt a lump. So I have a biopsy scheduled.
What I would like to know how many of you have gone thru this??
For you guys that haven't had their PSA Checked in a while, DO IT!!!!

Sorry to hear that Dan, :cry: let us know how the biopsy turns out when you get the info. I had mine checked last year, but try and get it looked at, so to speak, every other year... Puffy

Went to my Urologist for the results of my biopsy, and I do have prostate cancer. Now I have to figure out what to do.

Sorry to hear this Dan... I first read that you did not have, sorry for the mis-post... Hope you can get some treatment that is best for your case. I had a friend at work that just went through all this and he is clear of it now, so keep your head up, Puffy

Up Date!
February 22 I had my prostate removed by the Da-Vinci robotic System. My Urologist was very pleased how well it went. He also said my prostate was fragile. I had a TURP done years ago.
I spent the weekend in the Hospital. I got home yesterday-Sunday.
II,m doing well. My pain is minimal and I'm eating well.Now the best part, I'm cancer free!

Great news, Diaperdan.....now you are an inspiration for other men facing the frightening news about prostate cancer...which is very common, as you well know.

I am 5 days past and I am doing quite well. I know I will have Stress incontinent as well as the Urge I already have. My Urologist is not sure how much worse I will be. The prostate has one sphincter in it which I didn't know about. So the only thing I have to hold back flow is the main sphincter. And mine malfunctions anyway!
