Prostate Cancer | Bill’s Story 

Can I ask what your early symptoms were? My dad turned 56 a few months ago and he has a weak urine stream, frequent ruination at night and his father passed away from prostate cancer at age 85. My dad is an old school stubborn man who doesn’t want a male doctor looking at his private parts. If you could tell me your opinion I’d appreciate it. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and everyone else suffering with this disease. Amen.

@@Getsumsimm I really didn’t have any symptoms to speak of My right leg swelled up because I had a clot in it The medication the doctors put me on were not getting rid of the clot and swelling My back was hurting me so I went to the emergency room to find out why The doctor did a CT scan and that’s when I found out I had cancer I then had a biopsy to find out it was prostate cancer It’s possible your father may get prostate cancer because his father had it Your father should get blood work to check his PSA Prostate cancer is very common in men Most men do not get it until they are in their 70’s or 80’s But I’ve seen stories of men getting it in their 40’s Please tell him to get it checked It’s better to catch it early Unfortunately mine was caught late and I think it’s because my doctor did not keep up on my PSA tests Tell him to go see a urologist God Bless

@@dondressel452 thank you my friend. I will make sure he gets checked even though he is stubborn as a mule. God Bless and I hope you get through this.

@@Getsumsimm thank you

And what if he did have incontinence it's better than dying

@@Midnitexowboy That's not the point. If you are going to comment on treatment you have to give the whole story. What is your PSA, your Gleeson score, is there metastasis? What treatment did you have and the results. AND what side effects did you have from the treatment and were they transient? How did you treat those side effects? Not everyone will answer those questions the same. It gives those of us at the beginning an idea what we are getting into. Some people don't want to know any of that. They go along with whatever their Doc says. That's fine but many want to know as much about all of it as possible. I think if you are going to post you should be giving 100% of the facts, not 50-60%.

Hi Mike, how are you doing now?

From your biopsy, it does appear non-aggressive. Why only 6 cores?

Any updates Mike? I hope you’re doing well. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you.

That's awesome Steve. How are you doing now?

@@keillanhadden798 I'm feeling great, still undetectable. Working out 6 days a week. Have you got a loved one with PCa?
