My Dad goes in March 12 for another consult on his prostate. His PSA was ok I believe, but was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a DRE with a colonoscopy follow up.

My father got a DRE and that confirmed his cancer. He will be seeking radioactive seed treatment. He is 82 and very active. Myself I go in Thursday for info on seed treatment. Made up my mind that is the way to go-there are just variations of it.

Yes my fathers cancer was contained. I know they did a scan on him. I suppoose they will do that for me for whatever procedure I select. I will have more details Thursday. I was really surprised the different ways they can treat prostate cancer. In the old days when they didn't have PSA tests I suppose they had more advanced cases and your selection was limited.
I'm not happy what I have-but I am glad I found it early.
I didn't hear anything positive about surgury to remove the prostate from 2 people I talked to.
Your right about his age.
I guess I should elaborate- the 2 people I talked to had some erectal dysfunction and incontinences (sp?) after removal of the prostate.. They have had no cancer reoccurrence. They were younger then 60.

They have made great advancements in the surgery procedures over the years. Most of us men will have prostate problems as we age. Good luck to you and your dad. I know my doctor has wanted me to have laser surgery, my prostate is enlarged, no cancer. I take vitamins and supplements to see if it can be reduced, or wait for surgery to improve.
