That is absolutely amazing news Joe!!! Praise God!!! I’m literally in tears over the great news! I can only imagine how you are feeling…. Giddy is a word that comes to mind. Now you can say “I got this!!!” And truly believe it.
I'm 71 and was diagnosed a year ago. I'm doing AS with Gleason 7 (3+4) in 2 cores. Urologist recommended treatment but said AS would be OK if I committed to regular testing. PSA in April was 5.8. Getting an MRI on Monday.
@jimh3595 Way to be active! I pretty much had the same, but due to my family history of my dad and 2 uncles having PC, it was best to get rid of it. The pathology ended up being a 9, and so it was the right choice. 3.5 weeks and back at work . Good luck on your journey and please keep us updated.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both. You are still one of the kindest guys I have ever met. Stay strong and keep putting one foot in front of the other in your journey. Thank you for your videos. Although being half a world away, it makes the distance feel just a bit smaller. *hugs*
Wow, did not expect this after your first conversation with me about what is happening couple of weeks back which was very alarming news, so am elated for you, this is good news indeed. You can see the road ahead of you now. Let's hope treatment starts asap!!

I wish you the best as well. I will be having surgery to remove my prostate on June 18th at Northwestern hospital. Let us know how you are doing. Stay strong, warrior.
Praise the Lord! I just had the biopsy and am waiting for results. Sounds like it’s small…5mm, self contained and a 4 on the scale. Will see what the Gleason and Epstein score are. Believing in Jesus gives the Hope!
