GLB49 Bedrock of the Community United States 29239 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:21 pm I'm sorry to hear that, Dearborn. Hopefully it is at the stage that can be dealt with safely. My dad had prostate cancer in his late sixties and after surgery he lived out his life without the cancer returning.

mestephil Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:30 pm Sorry to hear that. If you have to, go the surgery route, not radiation. I was diagnosed in 2009 and went through radiation, injections and meds. The radiation caused some colon pre-cancerous palyps so last a part of my colon by surgery. If I could do it again, I'd done surgery. Hang in there! Edited by mestephil Yesterday 10:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 105428 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:10 pm Thanks Gary and Mestephil I'll have to wait to see what the Doc has to say, but surgery sounds to be the best route if it get to that point (so long as they go easy on the nerves (so another part keeps working properly.)
