(In a Voice Like John Oliver on the Bugle. . .)PROSTATE CANCER UPDATE NOW! →[More:]Met with the Dr. and the bottom line is to leave stuff alone and go back in 6 months for another PSA and digital rectal exam and then another (gasp) biopsy in a year.
Out of 12 cores (which turned out to be almost the whole depth of the prostate) they found some cancer in 2, but only like 5% in one and 10% in the other.
My case turns out to be a classic example of what is getting written about in the
media these days. Small, slow-growing cancers which may, or may not, be problematic in the future, but are not now.
So "active surveillance," as they say, and going on with life.
