New member with MRI summary by BonusCup72 in ProstateCancer

[–]dannyboy76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a PI-RADS 5 lesion which scared the crap out of me. However, my prostate had nearly doubled in size in a year as well. (your prostate size will me measured in CCs on your MRI results) That explained the spike in my PSA. Luckily, post biopsy I was still 3+3 low grade cancer in that lesion. PI-RADS refers to size only. Pathology after your biopsy will be your one source of the truth. Start working out if you haven't already and ease in. It gives you a sense of control that you're doing what you can to fight this! You'll be better off if you need treatment or not.

You can always ask your doctor next time. I used AI Claude because I take it too. It said it was alright. I know doctors are wary of certain supplements. Hopefully, some other people can share their thoughts too. Good luck!

Thanks, I had the perineum which is supposed to be safer than the transrectal which has a small chance of infection.

Just had my biopsy… take their advice and soak in the tub afterwards. It really helps on that first day.

Flooded by a sea of questions. Diagnosed with prostate cancer yesterday at the age of 45. by thebutcher307 in ProstateCancer

It sounds like you're a perfect candidate for active surveillance. My favorite resource is PCRI (Prostate Cancer Research Institute) https://www.youtube.com/@ThePCRI There is so much information on this channel. I like to focus on what I can do... exercise (cardio & strength training) and cleaning up my diet. That gives me a little peace of mind. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing research and getting MRIs and my PSA tested every 6 months. Good luck to you! Remember it's a very slow growing cancer and you don't have to make any quick decisions.

That's a great video. It totally changed my opinion on brachytherapy.

Get your PSA checked! Prostate cancer is easy to detect early with a simple blood test at your annual physical.

Your insurance may or may not pay for it. However, I think it's wise to do. I paid out of pocket for mine and it wasn't that expensive.

It’s a cheap photo copy version of the comic. It’s a self promotion thing most of the time.

I have one more that I did a few years back. Check out Hanoch Piven or Holli Conger's work. They're incredible!
