Friends! A rising PSA level this year led to my beginning work with a urologist who monitored the level for a few months, then ordered an MRI. Unfortunately, its results were inconclusive and he chose to move forward with a prostate biopsy and bladder ultrasound. The 11/21 biopsy and 12/9 PET scan confirmed that I have prostate cancer: three spots in the prostate and highly likely two adjacent lymph nodes. The urologist initially called this treatable and curable, but not a slow "wait and see" strain. I have a urology follow-up next Tuesday (12/17) and will have a much better idea of treatment options. I am experiencing no symptoms, so am deeply grateful that the urologist moved forward with the biopsy after the questionable PSA results. Thank you for your prayers and friendship! Blessings for Christmas and beyond, Jim
