48. Dear gopiscrap, My husband had Maliginant Prostrate cancer. He always went to his Urologis a PSI test and a Prostate

Biopsy was given , They rated it on the Gleason scale which was a 9 which is equal to a stage 2. His PSA test also was high. Since his cancer did not metastasize His oncologist went with the radiation treatment instead of the Chemo, Rich got radiation and hormone therapy. Be aware that the that the radiation therapy has a 2-3 day set up. Bowels must be empty or they will not do the radiation. I went with my husband every day for a month. He is now taking a hormone(female} treatment that he takes daily. Rich, also gets his urine and blood work done twice a month. The onocologist said after 5 years it will not come back. I am sorry you have this news given to you . It is a terrible blow. He is still tired and not as energetic as he once was.But I don't care as I love him. I would like to give you a hug, You can do it I will include you in my prayers tonight. You, like my husband are fighters. you will survive, you are strong and you are loved. DUmail me for more info, Rich's second anniversary is coming up in June. Bless you my friend
