That is absolutely amazing news Joe!!! Praise God!!! I’m literally in tears over the great news! I can only imagine how you are feeling…. Giddy is a word that comes to mind. Now you can say “I got this!!!” And truly believe it.
I'm 71 and was diagnosed a year ago. I'm doing AS with Gleason 7 (3+4) in 2 cores. Urologist recommended treatment but said AS would be OK if I committed to regular testing. PSA in April was 5.8. Getting an MRI on Monday.
@jimh3595 Way to be active! I pretty much had the same, but due to my family history of my dad and 2 uncles having PC, it was best to get rid of it. The pathology ended up being a 9, and so it was the right choice. 3.5 weeks and back at work . Good luck on your journey and please keep us updated.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both. You are still one of the kindest guys I have ever met. Stay strong and keep putting one foot in front of the other in your journey. Thank you for your videos. Although being half a world away, it makes the distance feel just a bit smaller. *hugs*
Wow, did not expect this after your first conversation with me about what is happening couple of weeks back which was very alarming news, so am elated for you, this is good news indeed. You can see the road ahead of you now. Let's hope treatment starts asap!!
Glad they found less cancer than 1st thought I was dx in April 2023 Gleason 4+3=7 No known spread I had Lupron ADT for 8 months & 20 sessions of IMRT radiation I had a emergency room visit the other day at Swedish Hospital in Chicago I been having nosebleeds lately I was at a Potbelly restaurant & the bleeding wouldn’t stop The ER stopped it but They found I had irregular heartbeat I will get heart monitor this week My psa this week creeped up a bit 0.32 it was undetectable 2 months ago It needs to be watched regularly You mentioned Tinley Park & Hinsdale My dad passed away in 2018 with pancreatic cancer that spread at age 86 He had treatment at a cancer clinic at 173st & Lagrange Road Cancer is very frequent & difficult to diagnose & treat I live in Chicago on north side Uptown area God bless you in your journey
I wish you the best as well. I will be having surgery to remove my prostate on June 18th at Northwestern hospital. Let us know how you are doing. Stay strong, warrior.
Praise the Lord! I just had the biopsy and am waiting for results. Sounds like it’s small…5mm, self contained and a 4 on the scale. Will see what the Gleason and Epstein score are. Believing in Jesus gives the Hope!
THANKS JOE! We are with you! Really appreciate you sharing your experience 🙏😊🇺🇸
That is wonderful news. Happy for you.🦇

Oh, Joe, I am so relieved for you. One weight off your shoulders.
Mine was Gleeson 9 psa 3.9 when it was found in 2015 , and doesn’t seem to want to go away lol 😂
Ack. Wishing you well, warrior.
You can be treated with a good prognosis.

@@joec42064 Thank you, brother. Just finished your journey. Catheters are necessary, but….biggest fear
So, what exactly was your Gleason? Thanks.
2 cores 3+3. 1 core 3+4. 3 cores no cancer.
