short story long

Feb 2022 PSA at 10.6 from 4.75 Oct 2020. Also, BPH problems so before doing a procedure on BPH. Had a mpm prostate (mri) 3/18/22 and found pirad 5 lesions, next step was biopsy on 4/14/22 finding 9 of 17 cores with Gleason 8, 9, 10. Now a month later 5/20/22 pet scan to check so no results until 5/31/22.

Months of trying not to stress

Now 2 months of trying to not stress out and let's get going I have no idea which treatment will be suggested or how to choose. Also, turn 78 next week so options will be limited I suspect. Would like 10 years but no guarantee at this age, one day at a time. Am not interested in watching and waiting for over 2 months of radiation daily, just want to git-r-dun. Take care all.
