Wee Willie has for all intents and purposes passed away.
Prostate cancer is no joke, have over a dozen fraternity brothers with it, only one passed so far. But your comment reminds me of a Willie Nelson quote...."I'm so old I out-lived my dick."

Prayers for you BR. What was your PSA?Prayers sent for a good outcome on your surgery, I had My prostate biopsy this morn, will know the results in a few weeks .
Update: I chose external radiation and seed therapy. I have had 21 external treatments with 4 more to go. Thank God and knock on wood, but I have had NO side effects from the external radiation, none. I have a farm and the radiation treatments have not slowed me down one bit. I live about 25 miles from my radiation clinic and it takes me much long to drive back and forth than the procedure takes. I only lay under the machine for about 10 minutes. After external radiation, I will have the seeds put in my prostate. This is what my radiology oncologist suggested as the best treatment for me. I will have the seeds implanted about a month after the external radiation treatments are over. Did I make the right choice, I do not know. I chose the treatment that my Urologist and Radiologist recommended for me, and, I feel good about the treatment that I chose and I am at peace with it. I thank all of my ODT friends for your prayers, comments and support. I am also praying for others that have the same medical diagnosis. I do not know what the future holds, none of us do. But, I do know the ONE that does, and, my trust is in HIM.

I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. PSA was 5.07 and Urologist did biopsy on me. Took 12 core samples and 3 came back positive. Gleason score of 6, low grade, non-aggressive. We discussed treatment and the options were: Active surveillance, surgery to remove prostate, external beam radiation, and radioactive seed therapy.
Urologist sent me to a Radiology Oncologist for a consultation. After digital exam and lengthy discussion and explanation, RO recommended 5 weeks of external beam radiation followed by seed therapy treatment. I am 72 years old and in good health otherwise.
Anyone of my ODT friends out there had this combination treatment, or, any other treatment? I would like to hear from you as to your experience, results, side effects, etc.. Any information that you can share with me will be appreciated.
