Re: Diagnosis

You are both in my prayers Dora.

But for a more immediate practical approach I recommend that you start
reading and researching the treatment alternatives and related side
effects now. And gather information on the treatment centers and
physicians available in your area. It is very important to be well
informed for the decisions that are ahead.

Good luck to you both.

According to the range given on my husband's lab test printout, normal range

I however, am terrified. In 2004 (the last time he was tested), his
reading was 4.0. A couple of weeks ago, he asked for another test, which
came back at a staggering 66.5. Yes, you read correctly.

Our internist is obviously alarmed, as well he should be. (He diagnosed an
enlarged prostate in
August 2005 but didn't bother to have a PSA test run.) My husband was sent
immediately to a urologist, who diagnosed cancer even before the biopsy
(which is to be performed on August 7).

Say a prayer for him - and for me. We're babes in the woods on this.
