      My urologist is suggesting active surveillance although I have read that Johns Hopkins doesn't recommend that (in general) for men my age (59). I'm still researching...

    Where did he go for treatment and what type of cancer did he have? Why have you not done the same thing?

    although I'm not a urologist----I know that a lot of things effect the psa tests---but with that said I guess it all comes down to do you trust what the dr is saying and doing---my cousin was on interferon and was given weeks to live--he said that his quality of life was terrible he couldn't even get out of bed---he opted to do holistic medicine and went and paid 800 dollars to have his body checked for toxins--he goes in once a month for a cleansing and vitamin shots and he has lived 4 years when he was supposed to live weeks-- and does pretty much what he wants--of course the regular medical guys are gonna say that this is voodoo medicine--but who knows?

    Thank you for the message on my wall, here is a video of me speaking at a Relay For Life function, this is what I do now, try to keep people motivated to keep raising money to help find a cure and fund research. Take a look if you like.

      Thank you, I am a firm believer in that what ever you believe, you can concieve. So, if you constantly think bad, negative, etc. that's what you will reap. Keep a positive attitude, but also keep aware of what is happening to you. It's just the way I think. I speak to groups for the American Cancer Society as on of their Heroes of Hope. Same message.
