Two Years Since PCa
I was diagnosed with PCa in April 2017. I had 2 biopsies, A TRUS and a MRI-Guided biopsy. My Gleason score was 4+3=7. % positive cores 16% (2/12). My PSA score prior to biopsy was 6.87. I elected to have treatment because of the Gleason score of 4+3 =7. The PCa had not escaped the capsule, so I chose EBRT (External beam radiotherapy). Prior to the treatment I had my biopsy remains sent for genetic testing to find out the aggressive/non-aggressiveness of my PCa. It came back middle range. My treatment consisted of 43 fractions of radiation. After 2 years I am doing well, with tolerable side effects.
