Retirement is bliss!?

I’ve been dealing with a diagnosis of PROSTATE cancer for about 15 years or so. Until recently, I’ve chosen to passively monitor my PSA levels weekly, or weakly. I’ve now got BPH, so I’m taking a more aggressive approach. I’ve recently received a MRI, a bone scan, and a new biopsy. I meet today with a radiologist from the urology department from Watkins Clinic in Lakeland, Fl. To determine a coarse of treatment. I’ll update after my appointment.

15 years ago with 1 core??? Very curious as to what the diagnosis ((Gleason Score)) was since apparently not much has happened in 15 years AND you are aware that PSA whether high or low is not a definitive indication that PCa is present.
