I have prostate cancer. My PSA has been 4.2+ for years. I finally had a biopsy 3 weeks ago and the results:?

Tumor is Gleason's combined score 9. Focal high grade PIN. Cancer is either T-2 or T-3.


Therepy will be radiation, radioactive seeds and hormones.


What are survival rates?





Don't ask why biopsy wasn't been done sooner. I trusted doctors decisions. I am now 66.

Reply:Don´t worry too much, I know lots of men that have had prostate cancer and... all of them are alive. Most of them are the same as they were before their treatments and some others were operated and they are just a bit different but... they really look the same to me as they used to.


Get a soon recovery.
