Prostate CancerProverb: *A Problem Shared Is A Problem Halved*
Because I had the Bad Luck to have been diagnosed with Prostate Tumor earlier this year, we wanted very much to create a Friendly Web Site called "Our Prostate Problems" that gives, after reading and searching through , a lot of "PEACE OF MIND" to as many people as possible, who may be affected with this problem.I have progressed quite well, having had the following: Physical Prostate test, a Biopsy, 2 Hormone injections and finally a Low Radiation Therapy with the insertion of gold seeds .(about 9 weeks straight). [ Please, do not be as rude as my wonderful wife as to finding what goes in conjunction with "Gold Finger"]. I will be going to have another PSA test after 6 weeks from my radiation course. I will keep you informed.Well, I went to my Doctor (General Practitioner), on Friday 16th.September,2011.I had a blood test for the level of Protein with a PSA test about 4 days prior. My result was 0.6 so that was very pleasing. The doctor said that only if I had the surgery, would the PSA level be 0.0. I have just returned from seeing the Radio Therapy Specialist at the Hospital that I am going to. According to the Doctor, Now I have to see the Radiology Clinic every (6) six months, to have another Blood test. This is to check up on the PSA levels. The doctor did say that after Radiation Therapy, Depending on a few things including Age, they like to see the level below 1.0. Please remember, that this is an ongoing problem, and we can all help one another, if You just ASK!
