Paleocelt lives in New England, USA. He was 46 when he was diagnosed in February,
2006. His initial PSA was 6.3 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 6 and he was staged
T1c. His choice of treatment was Da Vinci Robotic Surgery . Here is his story.
I
found I had prostate cancer thru a routine PSA test. I wanted to know my cholesterol,
but came out with that instead. I panicked, as you might be now, but was buoyed
by the enormous amount of support, encouragement and information that can be had
thru this medium. The kindness that were shown to me by strangers from all over
the world still makes me cry when I think of them. I would like to volunteer myself
to be of any help to anyone at any time. That is the least I can do. Have faith.
Ask for help. Shed your tears and then tower over your fear. You are stronger
than it.
For one considering surgery, I would highly recommend the Da Vinci
method, given the enormous caveat of a surgeon of meticulous skills and prodigious
reputation. My PC was significant in quantity and close, close, close to escaping
the gland, but was excised with what (28 months hence) seems to have been a curative
procedure.
My post-RP PSA is <.02 or below, I have no continence problems
and have no real erectile problems. That can be you too --if that is the path
you choose. Please contact me if you need/want.
