Update Biopsy or not to Biopsy

[Guest guest]



I had my first biopsy done two days ago and today the doctor called with the results from the lab. I scored a Gleason 8. The good news is that it seems to be contained in the capsul. The doctor suggested a few options to me on the phone. (damn few) I tried to ask about alternative options and he responded that if I screw around with alternatives it will kill me. He recommended cut, burn or Cryo. He said I have an agressive cancer and I need to deal with it right away. I've read about cut & burn but I don't know about cryo. Can anyone point me to info on cryo? I suspect there would be a lot of adjacent tissue damage with that also. ----I don't really want to do any of these things. Can anyone recommend a good doctor to guide me through an alternative protocol? Dave
