Beginning the journey
Hi all, Apologies for the rambling of my first post but I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me please. I’ve always suffered from painful periods - to the point where I would vomit with the pain in my teenage years but once started on the pill (Loestrin 20) this became manageable and I’d take

1st post - ramblings for future treatment decisions & so much research info to digest
In March 2018 at 64yo with an escalating PSA from <3 16 months earlier to 7.3 in 5 weeks the biopsy revealed 2 of 12 samples with Gleason 4+4 in both. Discussion with doctors at Mayo & my bride led to decision of robotic assisted radical prostatectomy with nerve sparing in 8/18. Pathology revealed no
