>>Here's a blog from a guy that has a 10 yo son, so he's not too old. When would have been a good time for him to have been screened, in order to prevent the Advanced PC that's killing him? (Notice his low PSA reading....Doctors say 0 to 4.0 is good???) At diagnosis, mine was 20.4.

>Hard to say.... but a good thing that they do screen if over a 4.0 PSA.... they just found mine 2 weeks ago at 5.1 and my biopsy is positive... Gleason of 5 at this time... going in Monday to see what to do about it.

Tommy,

I highly recommend the Prostate Problems Mailing List (PPML) at http://ppml-info.org/ (free subscription information).

I've been on the list since 1996.

Some of the people on this list have a better understanding of Prostate Cancer than a lot of doctors. There are also some doctors that are members.

No matter what questions you may have, these people will help you find the answers.

Probably the most important question and answer on the list has to do with choosing the person to do the procedure that you have chosen. The answer is, choose a doctor that is a recognized expert (some call these doctors artists). For the procedure that you appear to prefer, I believe RCOG in Atlanta http://www.rcog.com/ would be a good choice for you to have on your list.

Good Luck,

Dale
