Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Greetings I am new on this list, so bear with my dumb questions that you have undoubtedly hashed out many times. My husband will be 55 next week and recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. We have just begun the walk thru cancer. [Gleason score is 6. TNM stage score is T2b. ABCD stage score is B1] First we had to find out where the prostate was located, so we could expain it to our adult children. Now we learn lots of new terminology and have many decisions to make- and yet the feel the pressure of hurry up, hurry up. Our Doctor gave us a book to read that is nothing but grim news all the way through. I take it this will not be a "cake walk". We desire a second opinion and have taken some steps towards getting that. We also are interested in having the DaVinci procedure done (Robotic) - but not sure where or how to get that referral yet. We live in FL. Any of you had the DaVinci? Were you pleased? Of course the side effects of all of this is not pleasant. He already has had substanial bleeding from just the biopsy two weeks ago. He is also a heart patient, having had three heart attacks already. So this indeed will not be a cake walk, but we will walk it together.
