My Prostate Cancer Path

Every prostate cancer patient has a story, and every story is different. This is a disease that affects one out of every seven Canadian men. Here is my story, with the hope it may help others who are travelling a similar road. Wayne Harrigan, Moncton, New Brunswick (wbharrig@nb.sympatico.ca). Wayne and Barb Harrigan are the co-ordinators of the PCCN Greater Moncton Prostate Cancer Support Group. Visit the Prostate Cancer Canada Network website at www.prostatecancer.ca.

11 August 2009 - Biopsy #3

I had the second round of biopsies at the Moncton Hospital. Dr. Dwyer took six clips from each side of the prostate, twelve in all plus redid one. The results should be back in about a month. If the results are the same or better than May, I’ll see Dr. him in six months and have more biopsies in a year. He says he follows the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Clinic methods- that’s a pretty reliable source. So now we wait for a month.
