a Bart Simpson ” damned if you do and damned if you don’t” issue..what to do with a high psa and one negative prostate biopsy?
Recent comment/question on this blog I recently had a PSA of 17 and so saw a urologist and he ordered antibiotics for a month and another test. Tested the same and so he performed a biopsy with the 12 small cores you mentioned. Biopsy came back negative for cancer. I should mention there have been …
Which of the following guidelines regarding screening protocols for prostate cancer would have saved Frank Zappa or Richard Albin’s father? Hmmmmmmmmm.
Pepe the Prostate....the interview.... Brawley and Brooks are "Public Health" types and this explains their position on screening. "Making decisions for the masses" with an emphasis on what is cost effective. Why such a descreptancy between the ACS and the doctors (AUA) who are actually treating the disease?

"Who are you" from The Decision Despite the " Catchy Title" what we in the business call a Proxy Headline, the following gives credence to active surveillance and at the very least....that the newly diagnosed prostate cancer patient had time to arrive at a well thought out decision.

Lockerbie bomber, prostate cancer, medical records, BP oil, bribes, congress demanding medical history, terrorists, possibly a purposeful missed diagnosis?…..the stuff novels are made of.
Does a "terminal" patient walk up a ramp to big a airplane? I think the concerns and outrage regarding this person's release may have merit. I look forward to seeing the medical records. See post on "androgen refractory prostate cancer" and therein lies the answers. Terrorist, plane crash, BP oil connections, suspicious release from prison, Libya, …

http://oneprostatejourney.blogspot.com/ i call "shotgun" From "The Decision" On one particular occasion (however it has happened countless times) I had just told a patient that his biopsy showed cancer. I began to lay out an overview of the options and happened to start with surgery. Before I could continue, the patient told me, “My brother has …
regarding prostate cancer…this is poignant– as my mother would say, ” john, a word to the wise is sufficient”
For something like this to happen to someone you love and depend on, when it possibly could have been prevented or detected much earlier, I think we would all agree would be tragic. What a beautiful and unselfish person he must be. My ancestry is from Ireland you know. Love your prostate website …
