Re: Surgery on prostate>

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Im 59, psa 12, Gleason 8.... I have two of 12 samples

with cancer... Im having the prostate removed Dec 11

by davinci machine....

My bone scan was negative... had a CT scan yesterday

for OR prep but no results yet... I believe I will be

coming up negative. My cystoscopy showed little

complications, swelling of the prostate into the

bladder, typica of BPH. The doctor said it should be a

typical operation with no complications.

I chose not to go the chemo route, because the

prostate cannot be operated on later if need be.

It sounds like you need to take all agressive

treatments necessary. Removing the prostate will stop

that, but Im not sure of the lungs and bladder..

I dont understand how spots on the lungs being

cancerous wouldnt be a future problem.... Did the

doctors say it was OK to leave them?

How did they remove the cancer during the biopsy? That

is done rectally and the procedure doesnt come near

the bladder...Its strictly syringe taking out a sample

of the prostate tissue. I dont know about any other

procedure on the bladder done rectally.. I would think

it would be done endoscopically thru the abdomen. (If

they removed tissue)

If you choose to take religious support to cure your

cancer, that is your right and choice. Cancer has gone

into remission for many reasons religious or mindful

intent, but the mechanisms are not well understood.

You need to be ready to accept the fact that if it

doesnt there will be no cure if the cancer is allowed

to get worse.

I would be taking every possible medical procedure and

med to help it along. I dont intend to have anymore

children and IM choosing to live than to put up with

an agressive cancer. In my case it came on quickly.

Ive been watching the BPH over 4 years. THe second

biopsy came back cancerous. Im not waiting to see if

it spreads to other organs. Knowing all about what I

know of Reiki and other healing modalities would not

make this cancer go away.

I have an uncle who chose NOT to have clinical or

medical intervention. He died from it. Pure an simple.

In his case he didnt want to go thru any of the harsh

chemo treatments that were available at the time.

Im not trying to get into religious discussion. I

believe each has a right to believe what they want.

Just respect the others believe and let them do what

they wish.

But as a simple question to you.. Are you looking to

leave your destiny to Jesus and not take reponsibilty

to care for the body he gave you in this life?

We live in a time of better health care than even ten

years ago. I hear of more people survivng cancers than

ever before. But not by taking no action....

It is your choice.

No, it is done through the penis.
