14 October 2010 - Active Surveillance continues

14 October 2010:  Appointment with Dr. Dwyer for my biopsy results.  He says I’m consistent- third identical biopsy results.  Still T2a, still 4 cores out of 12 showing prostate cancer, still 3 + 3 = 6 Gleason score, PSA is 2.2.  I will have my next PSA test in six months and at that time he will decide when to schedule another biopsy.  So the news is good.  I asked “Will I hear from you?”  His reply, “You’ll hear from me.  You’re fine.”

21 September 2010 - Biopsy #4

Appointment with Dr. Dwyer in Clinic E at the Moncton Hospital for my fourth biopsy.  No problem.  It was more uncomfortable than usual, but I guess that goes with the territory.  I will be passing blood for the next little while.  It should be about a month before I get the results.  My hope is that there will be no significant change.
