Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 My name is . My husband, Randy, was diagnosed with prostate cancer via biopsy. We found out 2 weeks ago. His gleason score is 7, his PSA 4.62. HE IS 43 YEARS OLD. He has no symptoms or any other health issues. The initial urologist says that surgery (DaVinci) is our only option. But then the radiologist said that radiology is the best option. This ERBT radiologist also said that advancements in his type of radiation have made it superior in directing the radiation to the prostate than proton treatment. We are meeting with various treatment providers including traditional radiation (Dr. Zimmerman in Santa Clarita, CA), proton radiation (Loma - we live 2 hours from there), seeds (Dr. Botnick of Sherman Oaks,, CA), and 2 different robotic Laperoscopic surgeons (Dr. Ramin in L.A. and Dr. Kawachi at City of Hope). Whew! Two weeks ago I never gave a thought to the prostate! Now I feel like an emerging expert. But the more welearn, the more we are confused about the best course of treatment. Thanks for any advice and prayers. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
