Well dang it.....2020 rears its ugly head again......had a biopsy on my prostate 2 weeks ago cause my PSA got up to 4.5.      Just got the call from the doc....cancer.....early stages.     Gotta go in the morning to talk treatment options.

Been there, done that.....interesting article attached.....download in the article informative also.....

Altho it may feel like it at the moment, you are not alone and several of us on the board have already been through this with varying/different treatment options from active surveillance to complete removal.

I'm sure some may respond with their personal experiences.  If you have ANY questions and prefer to discuss off-line, PM me and I'll be glad to chat and share my journey.  I AM NOT A DOCTOR...only a survivor.

Good luck and best wishes.

At least they caught it early !!

On the flip side - I managed to replace a 3 hole kitchen sink faucet with a 1 hole faucet from Ikea - and I only needed to make ONE trip to Lowe's !

Damn ! You are good. That would be a minimum 3 trip job for me.

Digger, you are in my thoughts. Merry Christmas  cooldude

Success rate for prostate cancer treatment is very good, especially when caught early! 

It sucks to hear the C word, but you got this!

 Most that got the C word from prostate biopsy have very good results and something about else gets them. Prostate C is slow growing and treatable. Any malethat lives long enough will have it but a very small percentage will succumb to it.
