Success stories
Hello I was diagnosed with Gleason 3+4 in January and had surgery - clear margins and clear lymph nodes but worried and have a lot of anxiety about recurrence. Any success stories out there? Please share as I am so scared of my first PSA test in a few weeks. Thanks

another step in the right direction: AI Tool Precisely Matches Cancer Drugs to Patients
"In a proof-of-concept study, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD, US) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that leverages data from individual tumor cells to predict how well a person's cancer might respond to a specific drug." https://www.labmedica.com

colonoscopy and endoscopy concerns
I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1 week. My last colonoscopy was 8 years ago and the two colonoscopies before that found nothing but hemorrhoids ( all colonoscopies were pre CLL diagnosis in Oct of 2017). I have never had an endoscopy but I do have a cough that seems to start after
