Hi, I was told I had prostate cancer in March. In doing CT scans they found me with cancer in the right kidney, and told me it had to be removed first. It's been 2 weeks since they removed the kidney and no cancer had gotten outside the tumor itself.
Now I am back looking for ways to treat the prostate. I have really almost decided to go a different route than removal. I will be 60 in June, the Gleason was 5 in 1 of 12 cores only. My PSA was 6.8.
Because of the recent kidney removal I am somewhat concerned about cost involved with possibly having brachytherapy, but we do have insurance.
