Prostate Cancer
Status
1. Gleason 9 (4+5) August 2007,bilateral carcinoma with extraprostatic extension and bone scan suggestive of sclerotic metastases in the inferior pubic ramus.
2) Commenced Zoladex September 2007,commenced Casosex for PSA progression May 2011.
3) Continues on follow-up
All sounded ominous and scary as I had never been in a hospital or seriously ill all my life in 63 years.
Still neither had my Father until he was 76 and contracted liver cancer and died shortly after diagnosis.
Add on top of my diagnosis that I was suffering almost total renal failure,and possibly had I not gone to the Dr. the day I did, another week or two of ignoring my symptoms and I may not have been here today 5 and half years later!!!
REMEMBER some men have no symptoms at all and have progressive prostate cancer!!
SO ALL MEN GET A PSA CHECK TODAY IT JUST MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE,TAKE A FRIEND AND GET THEM CHECKED TOO IT MAY ALSO SAVE THEIR LIFE AS WELL!!!!!
Below are my current symptoms-
Current Symptoms History-Dr's Report following clinic visit 27/01/13
I reviewed Mr.Riley in clinic today.He remains well in himself with no symptoms of progressive disease.
His appetite is good.His weight has gone up slightly.He continues on Zoladex and Casodex.
I note that his PSA has risen slightly to 21.
For now I have suggested that we just continue on his medication and he is reviewed in two months time with repeat blood tests.
PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS IS NOT ALWAYS AN IMMEDIATE DEATH SENTENCE !!!!
GET TESTED TODAY !! NOT TOMORROW !!!!
I personally also believe a healthy diet helps control my cancer progression,whether that is true or not is still open for discussion worldwide!!, but different races have varying statistics on contracting this disease,so perhaps there is some truth in this!!
Please feel free to discuss this or any other topic about your own cancer in the comments.
