BPH story of a PCa patient

I, similar to many of you, have both benign prostatic hyperplasia
(BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa). Some of you may be interested in my
new, non-commercial BPH website, which describes my
experiences with BPH and presents what I have learned about it. The
site's address is:

Here's a digest of my two prostate disorders: Currently 75 years old,
PCa dx'd Nov 2000 with PSA of 5.7 and Gleason of 3 + 3, read by Dr.
D. Bostwick. Active Surveillance supervised by Dr. M. Scholz. Diet,
Avodart, & Flomax. No other intervention. PSA on 4/20/06 was 2.60.
BPH--my enlarged prostate is 84 cc, last measured on 2/3/06 by a
color-doppler/black-and-white ultrasound scan by Dr. D. Bahn.

Best Wishes,
Lawrence J. Bookbinder
