Re: prostate cancer


I just recently (7/28/2020) received the results of my prostate biopsy. They came back positive for cancer. The urologist is now having a Gleason analysis performed. This is my second urologist. My first urologist was not responsive. I had a PSA score of 6.4 and he said no worries, so I got a ...

Re: My third chemcastration trial

I tried Siterone for 8 days and had to quit due to the extreme shortness of breath. I took 50mg twice a day. That was at the beginning of December 2020. I still suffer from the shortness of breath.

Re: New to the site

Thanks for all your replies. My urologist appointment is the first week in March. I'll know more then. The research I've done makes castration appear to be the alternative with the least side effects. The statistics show a 98% 10 year survival rate if you do nothing. However there is a 43%+ chance ...
