Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer
- Thread starter SmoothD
- Start date
Praying for you Brother. I am a 2 year prostrate cancer survivor at 72 years of age. As of 3 weeks ago I was told I was in remission.
I haven't been on the board in a while, but I will make it a point to check in if you have any questions.
Wishing you the best, Smooth.
Once a year is good, unless you start having BPH symptoms.
Frequent urination (especially at night)
Weak piss stream
Hesitant peeing.
Having a hard time to start peeing, even though you have the urgency.
And also the inability to hold your pee when you have to go.
What Gleason score did they give your lesion?
Hope all goes with the surgery/treatment man!!

My Gleason score was a 7 (3+4)
Gleason score definition:
A way of describing prostate cancer based on how abnormal the cancer cells in a biopsy sample look under a microscope and how quickly they are likely to grow and spread. Most prostate cancers contain cells that are different grades. The Gleason score is calculated by adding together the two grades of cancer cells that make up the largest areas of the biopsied tissue sample. The Gleason score usually ranges from 6 to 10. The lower the Gleason score, the more the cancer cells look like normal cells and are likely to grow and spread slowly. The Gleason score is used to help plan treatment and determine prognosis (outcome).
prayers for a successful surgery
Praying everything goes well with your surgery tomorrow.
Got on an airplane from Chicago and flew 1000 miles with a medical emergency to get treated at an HBCU hospital. OJ goes to Las Vegas General Hospital and comes out in a body bag.

My thoughts and prayers to you brother with your surgery and recovery.
Thank you for sharing this and potentially saving some of our lives by making us aware.

praying for you brother....you got this
Praying for you brother.
I hope your surgery goes smooth and I wish you the best.
I believe you can beat cancer and you gotta go in there with that mindset as well.
Thanks for the great info about what we should do and to be aware of the signs about our prostate.
When you catch things earlier and go to the doctor for checkups which could save your life.
My father has a history in his family with prostate cancer, my grandfather on my dad's side of the family died from prostate cancer when he was 86.
My dad also have been taking prostate test and has high blood pressure but I'll make sure to let him know about getting his prostate removed instead of radiation when that time comes and he's 70!
I will make sure to get tested when I'm in 40's and beyond.
