Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 The name Andy Ripley will probably mean very little to most of the people on this List because he was a British International Rugby player – and a very good one at that. Andy was diagnosed in on 24th June 2005. He was 57 when he was diagnosed, his initial PSA was 133 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 7 and he was staged T3a. He was treated initially with ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy). His treatment failed and despite all efforts at alternatives his PSA rose in December to a level of 7,000 ng/ml. There is an excellent interview with him on the British newspaper Telegraph website at http://tinyurl.com/TeleAndyR Would that we all had his courage and outlook.
