Husband Recently Diagnosed

[Guest guest]

My husband, , was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He has a PSA of 19.4. 6

out of 12 cores tested positive with a gleason score 7 (3+4). My husband also

had a PET/CT scan and a bone scan that did not show any spread.

His original urologist who is an older doctor has recommended seeds and then

external beam radiation. He's seen better outcomes with this.

We live near Stanford University, so we got another opinion from an urologist

and a radiation oncologist up at Stanford. They both recommended the DaVinci

surgery.

It seems like the research seems to go towards surgery being the better option,

but then I'll read something that scares me and I think radiation.

In addition to all of this, on the same day my husband found out he had cancer,

his mother had a stroke and she passed away last week.

I think we are feeling pretty lost right now and overwhelmed.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Suzi
