Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Thanks for your welcome. At age 73 -in otherwise good health- diagnosed 11/06 with Stage T2a Gleason 3+3=6 PSA 6.9 Prostate Volume 75cc PSA History: 3/2004 6.1 11/2004 6.6 2005 5.5 7/2006 6.5 11/06 6.9 My research and my radiologist tell me: - Because of my age and likely side effects, I am not a candidate for RP, EBRT w/brachytherapy, homones, cryotherapy. I have chosen IMRT. Of 13 cores, one was 10% positive for cancer. I was told this is an early, " very small very treatable " cancer and that my options were watchful waiting or radiation. I do not think...any...cancer in your body is insignificant. We know the microscopic is insidious and feel we need to be as agressive as age will permit. Simulation is scheduled 1/2/07 - Tuesday Would welcome any input from members here. Thank you in advance. and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
