I am also a prostate cancer survivor. I had the biopsy and of the 12 testings one was found to be cancer. At that time my psa was 8 but had gone up over the past couple of years. Prior to my radiation I had to do the harmone therapy treatment to reduce the prostate size. After this was done I received radiation treatment which I felt for me was the best treatment although I didn't get any second opinions. Since that time, 3 years ago, my psa testings have been like .001. So far so good.

There is a prostate cancer group which meets monthly at Laurel Manor. These meetings are open to family members also. This meeting has speakers, primarily cancer physicians. Every other month they have a mens only meeting also at Laurel Manor which is very informative and much information is discussed by either people presently being treated or by survivors. I'm not to sure of the specific dates but you can contact Laurel Manor to get the specific information.
