Time to treatment

[ODave]

Good afternoon everyone. Hope all are safe in the craziness. I had biopsy in March and am still wrestling with decisions. I also had bone scan in April it was clean. I’m trying to decide so I can start this month but worry I’ve already taken too long

I'm not a doctor but I would opine that PCa is a slow growing cancer. A few months probably isn't going to make or break the outcome. Talk a little about your debate. How old are you... what are your numbers... what do you see as pros and cons. Personally, at 57 with well contained but aggressive cancer, I just wanted it out. I can deal with anything else but I didn't want a lingering concern about having a potentially cancerous gland still in my body. Glad I went this route but I'm sure plenty of folks who went the radiation route are happy with that choice as well

I was diagnosed with aggressive cancer and a Gleason score of 9 in March 2019. Had surgery at Mayo Clinic in June 2019 so I don’t think has been too long. If I were you I would pursue treatment ASAP.

It won’t be long, Aug 25th I get the gold markers then onto treatment (Cyberknife) hopefully all goes well
