Biopsy done. Not a pleasant experience. Now a waiting game to get the results.
Cranking up the positive vibes sir!

Biopsy results aggressive cancer but not huge. Now getting a CT and bone scan to see if it has spread. Best result would be no spread and surgery to remove prostate.
I’m sorry to read this @Kerry Brown . My most powerful positive thoughts to you sir.

Stopped in to say Hi and probably goodbye. My cancer journey continues on two fronts. Skin cancer keeps reappearing on my scalp. Dr removed some and referred me to a dermatologist who removed more and referred me to a surgeon who will remove more. It's not life threatening but it is a nuisance. Prostate cancer has spread to my lymph nodes. No symptoms but it will eventually be life threatening. Urologist has referred me to an Oncologist who will determine how to treat it. Worst case scenario, I've got five or six years. Best case, hormones and radiation will allow me to live a long and full life.. This has made me think about what's important in my life. My wife and music are tops. To that end I've found a monthly public jam and started jamming with a new friend who lives a couple of blocks away. Pounding keys on my computer is way down the list so you won't see me here much. I loved the interactions here but now I just want to write some songs and jam with friends.
If you are over fifty you need to talk to your doctor about a PSA test. It should be a yearly thing. If it is high you need to test more often to see if it is climbing. Just do it. Prostate cancer is curable if caught early before it spreads. Once it spreads it is treatable but not curable.
