I'm sorry to hear about your biopsy results, Dearborn. I've had several friends and a couple family members who have successfully gone through prostate cancer treatment, and as others mentioned medical science made great advances in cancer treatment over the past several years. Wishing you all the best for a full recovery!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

Well, I just got back from the VA Hospital (was there on a different matter(appointment)) So on my way out I made a detour into the Urology Dept and talked to one of the attending doctors there that worked on me.

They say that the Cancer shows up in 2 tiny spots and pre-cancer in 3 locations. They call it a very low-grade non- aggressive type.
They have 3 options:
1: Active surveillance
2: Radiation
and
3: Surgery

I opted for option 1 for now, which is monitoring my PSA every 6 months, MRI scans and Biopsy once a year if necessary.

So we'll see where this goes from here. so as my Grand Mother would say (in her deep Italian {Sicilian} Accent) "Whatta ya gonna do?"
