Hello everyone,
I am a 61-year-old male that was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February. My urologist is a surgeon, so I decided on surgery without consulting with any other doctor's. I just want to know if I made the right decision. I will list the details below.
PSA one year ago 9.2
PSA now 7.4
Gleason score 6
Clinical stage T1c
5 out of 12 sites show cancer at 60%, 70%, 5%, 25%, and 5%
I did not consider radiation treatment since I have ulcerative colitis and am taking the drug Velsipity. I read online that radiation while taking Velsipity could cause skin cancer.
I just need advice. My surgery is scheduled in 2&1/2 weeks from now.
Did I make a decision too quickly and should I reconsider?
Thank you all for your help!
