I don’t know who you are Circlecity but God knows and He will hear all of our prayers for you. Hang on to Jesus and keep positive!
I am praying for an excellent report.....and absolute peace for you!
God bless!
( If you have favorite hymns you could softly sing them to yourself while they prep you!!!....I do that in doctor’s offices, scans,,,,etc and it really comforts me.)
You could also take a few of your favorite comforting Bible verses....to read and calm
Praying for you. My husband had this done as soon as CoVid restrictions were lifted. He is fine, for now. I know this is scary, but prostate cancer is very treatable, and I say that with confidence. I pray that however this goes for you, God will give you what you need to get through it. Sometimes that means FRiends you can lean on. Please stay in touch.
Do not fear. Lean into the Lord.
You have our prayers.
Prayers for peace for you and good health.
I hope and pray that all goes well for you.
Prayers up for you.
Prayers for good results.
Praying. Consider natural healing with the supernatural power of God and forgo mainstream medicine. They are not interested in healing
Prayers up
Prayers up from the wife of a prostate cancer survivor!
Prayers on the way!
Went through this in 2009 following a suspicious manual examination during a routine physical. It was, in fact, prostrate cancer in its early stage.
I’m retired military and live in the greater Washington DC area, so I was treated by physicians at the Center for Prostrate Disease Research (CPRD) at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) in Bethesda, MD. The military, being very heavily male in population, is very interested in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the prostrate. The CPRD really is a research center and works to develop and improve all surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. And the full spectrum of treatment options (including some considered experimental at the time) were offered.
Of the many options available for treating it at the time, I choose to have the gland removed surgically in the traditional manner. The CPRD surgeons were very experienced in this specific procedure and used “nerve sparing” techniques to improve the possibility of preserving sexual function. However, I went into surgery with no promises and a warning from them that they were there to remove cancer and, if nerves were involved, they would be taken as well. Fortunately, they were not, and sexual function was preserved.
A fully section, mount and pathological evaluation of the gland (which is only possible with it’s removal) showed “negative margins” meaning the cancer was in its early stage and had not escaped the gland to spread throughout the body. There were some post-surgery issues with the Foley catheter that were ultimately successfully treated with antibiotics.
Twelve years later, my PSA level is still undetectable which is good and means they really did get it all with the surgery.
The biopsy is the beginning of the process. The treatment options will be explained in detail to you. Your choice going forward involves, ultimately, your tolerance for risk. Only you can decide on that. The biopsy results provide reliable facts you can now make informed treatment decisions about.
Be of good cheer. This step, no matter the result, will begin to dissipate the uncertainty, and resulting anxiety, you are now feeling and give you information you can plan concrete specific action(s) on.
Prayers up!
