I don't know which of the numerous treatment regimines he had, do YOU?

I had radiation shots 5/week for 5 weeks before I had radioactive seed implant. Total time period was over 7 weeks. PSA currently .01 and stable.

One more day in the books, God. Thank you!

Severity determines treatments available. One treatment is "watchful waiting". That is wait for a while and see how the cancer progresses.

Another can include 'chemical castration' (hurts to think about it, huh Guys? but better than dying).

Surgical removal of the prostate is also a treatment as is freezing of the prostate to kill the cancer cells.

Various combinations can also be prescribed.

Hey guys, if you are over 40, get a PSA test series started. The life you save can be your wife's mate.
