Multiple cancers

I've had lung cancer that I won the fight, and I’ve got multiple melanomas that are smothering now prostate cancer it’s going to be a fight but why not me? My doctor says because of my age 72 if my cancer is slowly growing I should do nothing. We’re just going to watch this and react to what it's doing. Keep a watch on PSA if it goes crazy then we react. If needed f do another biopsy in a year. I’m putting my faith in my Lord and just like lung cancer don’t claim it.

Hi <inline-mention username="CommunityMemberd94284" user-id="6782135"/>. Wow, you definitely have had your hands full. We have other men who have also dealt with multiple cancers and medical conditions. Mind if I ask if you know what your Gleason score is? I ask because, besides age, one of the primary considerations in deciding on active surveillance is the Gleason score. Also, there is the Prolaris test, which assesses the risk level of the prostate cancer. This article from our editorial team goes into further detail on active surveillance: <a href='https://prostatecancer.net/treatment/active-surveillance' target='_blank'>https://prostatecancer.net/treatment/active-surveillance</a>. Wishing you the best and please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing or to ask any questions. Richard (ProstateCancer.net Team)

 <inline-mention username="CommunityMemberd94284" user-id="6782135"/> I am glad to hear from you. It sounds like the cancer remains slow growing. Do you have an appointment coming up with your doctor to check your psa? If not, I would recommend setting that up as that sounds like the next step. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
