So, I'm 53 yrs. old and have led a Blessed life as far as health and well being goes. But on April 22 I got the terrible news that I have prostate Cancer. Me and the Drs. have been watching my psa levels for a couple of years and they suddenly skyrocketed to 7.4 in February of this year. After biopsy on April 11 it was confirmed. However, it is somewhat mid grade on the Gleason scale it is imperative to take action. The decision was made to go to MDAnderson in Houston, Tx and after talking with Drs. there it was decided for surgery over Radiation or Chemo.
Flash forward to 6/15/16. Went to MDA for blood testing, preop, anesthesia assessment and MRI to map out the area to be removed. 6/16/16 - surgery day. All went well according to the Drs. However, I feel like my insides are ripped out. But not as bad as I expected. Got discharged today and am recovering locally.
Long/short of this is if your 45+, start having blood testing and prostate exams yearly at a minimum. If your blood psa level is above 0 and your Dr. seems unconcerned seek a new urologists. Mine was 4 last year and my urologists did nothing. He probably could have treated but didn't.
