Terry Sumner Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well....decision made. Looks like I'm going to have at least 12 -16 weeks of hormone therapy and then go straight to surgery and have that cancerous sonofagun taken out! And I've already had 6 weeks of it so far. Then after that continue on the hormone therapy for a few years and monitor the PSA during that time. If it starts to creep up we will still have the chemo and the radiation options still in play. I like this plan a LOT better than having the radiation only option or the option of chemo followed by surgery followed by possible radiation! Just have to wait now and be sure the surgeon is on board with this plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You can beat it Terry, our pastor was diagnosed last November with stage 4 lung cancer, given a couple of months, and is still going strong, with the cancer gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I went straight to surgery 8 years ago for prostate cancer, Terry. No therapy, radiation, or chemo. I'm still clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
