Finnell and Elizabeth live in Idaho,USA. He was 66 when he was diagnosed on April
18, 2006. His initial PSA was 6.0 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 6 and he was staged
as T1c. Here is his story:
I
am newly diagnosed. My symptoms were poor urine stream and high PSA. I am leaning
toward the laporoscopic prostatectomy but have concerns with incontinency being
a permanent issues.
Thanks
for allowing me in the fold.

Have
found that my PCa is localized. Bad side of my CT scan was the location of an
mid-abdominal aneurysm. So I may be leaning toward seeds.
More
later. Well wishes to all.
Have
decided to watch and wait. There doesn't seem to be any cure. So I can't seem
to appreciate the option for poor life quality .
My psa went to 7.1 ng/ml but has been coming down to 5.3 ng/ml.
Best
wishes to all of you out there.
Jerome.
Have
not received any treatments. PSA is 6.0. Don't have insurance for medical care
so don't have access to new avenues of coping with the cancer. Emotionally I'm
fine. Contiue to exercise moderately, eat well and get adequate sleep.
Good
luck to all. Belonging to YANA helped me in my decision to wait and watch. Glad
to respond to any questions you may have.
