Barb and I came in from the shore to get the biopsy results from Dr. Dwyer. We were hoping the results would verify the findings of May 18, show nothing worse, and they do. The prostate cancer is still there. Our stats are virtually unchanged and I am still a candidate for active surveillance. I will see Dr. Dwyer in six months and have my PSA checked then. If it’s okay, in a year from now, I will have another round of biopsies done. Should everything be okay then, okay being generally unchanged, we will wait two years before the biopsies will be redone. There are no guarantees, but there aren’t with medical treatments of any kind. The doctor is fine with my choice and he feels my choice is suitable for my condition.
