Prostate Cancer


by: RT on Sun, Aug 10 2008

I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer and had a PSA reading of 4.6 and told I needed a biospy so I did and it did indeed come back with reading of prostate cancer But what I didn’t know was that it would cause the cancer to spread so qucikly.

I had the biospy done on Feb 20th and surgery on March 20th and just before surgery was done, another PSA was done and the reading had gone from 4.6 to 13. I had the surgery and have had severe incontince problem ever since. Have taken all the pills available for urinary incontinence, none have helped, have tried all exercises, still doing them, still going to therephy for it and nothing has helped.

My advice is, do not have the surgery if at all possible!
