  am with you! 20yr Air Force veteran<br>Desert Storm. When my PSA climbed to 5.1 ... 11-7-2023 the VA immediately wanted to do a trans-rectal Biopsy and remove my prostrate I said let me do some research. I felt very uncomfortable even talking with the VA Doctor! I fought with the VA to see a Urologist out side the VA for two years meanwhile my PSA continued its climb!<br>Finally got approved to see a Urologist and did the trans-rectal random Biopsy, I asked the Doctor what are the chances of finding anything he said 50/50 I regret doing it He also wanted to remove my prostrate After another year of MRI&apos;s &amp; Pet-ct scans you could clearly see my Pirads 5 targets which the random Biopsy missed!<br>Once I turned 65 it seems the sky opened up ..... I had Medicare A&amp;B and Tricare for life which meant I could chose everything!<br>The Doctor, hospital and the exact treatment I wanted &quot;NOT WHAT THE DOCTORS SCARE YOU INTO&quot; This year Mar 12-2026 1 got the Trans-perineal Targeted fusion Biopsy and finally found Gleason 3+4=7 one main target and one smaller target. May 19-2026 I chose Nano Knife at Mayo Clinic AZ it seemed to be the best option for my particular situation at the time of treatment my PSA climbed to 20.1.<br>Just had a recent PSA test it came back 2.9 and still dropping I have a follow up<br>August 21-2026 with Mayo hoping for another big drop. Godspeed to all Men fighting this disease 🙏

  First off many thanks to you both. Honest, professional advice with years of medical experience. After 20 years of surveillance I have had recently a PSMA scan ,my third. I did this because I had a little niggly pain in my hips. I do a bit of bicycle riding and particularly like pushing my self probably beyond my limits as I am no longer a young chap. A bit of arthritis in hips as previous scans have shown. Should have my scan results in a few days so it should be interesting. Thanks again to you both. Much love to you both

  I was diagnosed via a biopsy with Gleason 3+4 prostate cancer February 2025 at the age of 64. Both a surgeon and radiologist recommended removal. They said at a younger age (1) I am more likely to tolerate the surgery with fewer side effects and (2) I have a longer remaining life span to possibly encounter issues if I do not treat it. They agreed the removal could wait until October of 2025. I asked for an MRI to verify the cancer was no worse than what the biopsy showed. The MRI did <b>not</b> show any cancer.... I proceeded to have the prostate removed in October 2025 with a Retzius sparing radical prostatectomy. The biopsy of the removed prostate showed the cancer had progressed to Gleason 4+3. &nbsp;It was a couple of months before I fully recovered, but I did not encounter any issues with incontinence or impotence thanks to (I am told) the Retzius sparing procedure. Recently a man in my community about my age passed away from cancer which originated with prostate cancer. I am glad to be done with it!

  Thank you for your informative videos! I have gleason 3+4 with about 20% been a more aggressive cancer. I&apos;m 65 and in pretty decent shape. I have decided to do active surveillance just for the quality of life.Have not been stressing about the cancer..started a healthy supplement (not ivermectin/fenben) regime. The way i look at it if I get another 15 years of life I&apos;m good with that.

  I needed to hear this. &nbsp;I thank you. recently diagnosed with 3+4, I&apos;m getting a second opinion at John Hopkins, and another at Clevland Clinic. &nbsp;I live in the Pittsburgh area. &nbsp;I thank you so very much for this video, I feel pressured that I need to treat now, and I&apos;m wanting to go about lifestyle change and watching to see what it&apos;s going to do. &nbsp; Thank you again. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Mario

  Had PC for years. Dr told me it would not kill me and gave me checks but no treatment and now 96. Yes it obviously grew slowly as I grew old slowly and I’m still around . I’m no Dr but seems that you won’t die of it but with it. Suppose there are some severe cases but most can live with it but not die of it.

  Have Gleeson 3+4, diagnosed in Feb 26. currently on active surveillance and last 3 PSA&apos;s have been reducing &nbsp;4.5, 3.8, 3.6. This video is very reassuring albeit I have psa test here in UK every 3 months. Thanks for these videos, they are very good and so informative.
