What type of treatments are there? So many people are concerned about losing their hair. I didn’t mind the hair loss for 9 months. Anything to get better. Wigs work fine.
I always have a Physical exam each year, so I found my cancer via a PSA blood test, and it is very early stage. There are several forms of treatment for PC, but at my age of 53 (young by most PC standards,) the three used most often used is surgery to remove, radiation, and seed implants. Most guys choose surgery, but because I have other medical problems, I chose IMRT radiation treatments. The main problem with my decision is that it requires 43 daily visits on consecutive days. Lucky for me I am only 5 minutes away from the local cancer center. I am already very fatigued from the radiation, and am having slight stomach problems, but it is expected. I wish you all the best. It is a tough road, but we have no choice.
Vickey, I have not stopped praying for you since I read your first post. I will continue to lift you up. Many blessings, and God Speed to you, Vickey!
