Hey guys! Thanks for the add. I'm looking forward to learning. I got turned down for life insurance after the required testing found a high PSA. I later had an MRI which showed 2 PIRADS 5 lesions. I've been dragging my feet on getting a biopsy so no formal diagnosis yet.

1- Greetings from Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide! I just turned 54 last month. 2- Diagnosed with prostate cancer, Gleason 3+4=7 in May. Been tracking PSA since Dec 2021 when annual bloodwork showed 4.2. Before that, everything normal/within range. Two MRIs, multiple digit exams and urologist visits did not show cancer. Finally consented to biopsy in early May and bingo! 3 of 16 cores malignant, PSA currently 8.9. Been in active surveillance since biopsy/diagnosis but now leaning toward MRI assisted HDR brachytherapy. Two different urologists pushing robotic prostatectomy and soon. I'm definitely concerned about impotence and incontinence! Like what I'm seeing at MD Anderson and what Dr Steven J Frank is doing. 3- Here to gather/share information to make good decisions.

Thank you for joining the Prostate Cancer Warriors! Please introduce yourself here: 1. Tell us how old you are and where you are from? 2. When you were first diagnosed with prostate cancer and what are you doing to manage and heal your prostate cancer? And lastly... 3. What is the #1 thing you're hoping to get out of joining this group? I promise you at least one hard-hitting, well researched prostate cancer related video each week and would like to ask for your patience as we organize all the content we're working on.... ... In the meantime, can you please tell me, is there anything really urgent and important about prostate cancer that you haven't been able to find information on? Anything that really makes you mad about prostate cancer? The doctors? Surgeons? The lack of transparency? The censorship? I look forward to hearing from you. PS. We're all in this journey together so please be respectful, compassionate and helpful! Scott Oliver
