WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS SOCIAL NETWORK?
The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink Social Network is a service of Prostate Cancer International and is closely associated with the core information and daily news made available through The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink. We welcome patients, family members, physicians, researchers, and anyone else who is seeking information about what's happening on Planet Prostate Cancer.
If you want to remain anonymous on this network ... do not use your real name when you sign in. Use a pseudonym, or just your first name and an initial.
One of our primary goals is to help newly diagnosed men to come to the best possible decision for them about a specific course of action. Given two men with exactly the same clinical characteristics, the best possible decision for man A may be very different to the best possible decision for man B.

Brad replied to Stephen Norris's discussion Sexual function after prostatectomy - my experience so far in the group Sex after prostate cancer treatment - what to expect
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Anthony P."Good. ... Let's hope that the PSA is still at that level in another 3 months' time ... but don't panic if it rises a little as any lingering effect of the Lupron treatment wears off over the next 3 months."
Anthony P. left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"Mike,
On 3/3 my PSA results were
0.028
Looks good so far...

Brian Watts replied to Eric Weinstein's discussion No PCa, but Rising PSA"G'day Eric,
A mate of mine had three negative transrectal biopsies over a period of about 4 years, and during that time his PSA steadily rose from about 6 up to 13 point something. His free PSAs decreased also and his last free PSA was…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Craig Hilbert"Hey Craig ... I'm pleased to see that your bone and CT scans were negative (as everyone seemed to be expecting)."
gerry left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"thank you mike .I will talk to you again soon."
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Ron Birtch"Ron:
That article (which I wrote) is nearly 2 years old. There have been vast improvements in the use of MRI over the past 2 years. Your look to me like a prime candidate for an mpMRI today."
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for patricia elmore"Patty Ann:
Ignore my last question. I re-read your message and I see that you weren't sure about whether Greg had positive lymph nodes or not. This should be on his post-surgical pathology report, but Greg may never have asked for a copy."
Bob Rodberg posted a status"Well I'm scheduled for surgery in Aug. Bone scan and all pretests came back good... now just to wait."
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for patricia elmore"Patricia:
So with a PSA of 43 before he ever had surgery and a Gleason score of 8 at surgery, there was always a very high probability that surgery might not be able to cure your friend's cancer. ... Sorry, ... but I think you need me to be…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for gerry"Gerry:
You have a series of options that you can discuss with people. I cannot tell you what is right or wrong (because there is no "right" or "wrong"). I'm not your doctor. The options include:
-- Talking to your doctors…"
patricia elmore left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"Hi Mike, Thank you for the warm welcome. What I know is that Greg's Gleason # is 8 and he had a PSA of 43 prior to his surgery on Oct, 9 last year. He is 63 years old and in excellent health. His father had prostate…"
Ron Birtch left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"Hi mike and thanks for the feedback......have you read this article: http://prostatecancerinfolink.net/2012/08/12/are-mri-targeted-biopsies-better-than-standard-12-core-trus-guided-biopsies/
It appears to me there are little result differences? I…"
Rick D. commented on Ralph Valle's group Androgen Deprivation Therapy / Hormone Suppression"Thanks Rob - reading your post below, my first observation is that you should be under the care of a medical oncologist at this point rather than a urologist. Urologisits are surgeons - your issues are now physiological since it appears the PCa is…"
gerry left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"Hello Mike I had a call from the urologist office : the results were fine ,both c.t scan and bones scan were neg. Now ,should the next step be a 3d scan of the prostate with appropriate biopsy ,or start treatment of the .My doctor…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Ferdinand Trufant"Welcome Ferdinand.
When you say that you "had a check-up in January disease is still present", can you be a little more specific? For example:
-- What is your PSA level now?
-- Do you know your PSA doubling time (i.e., how fast your…"
