Ron has prostate cancer 😟

We’re going to get the results of his PET scan this morning. The concern is that the cancer has metastasized, and the Pet scan will show where else it might have traveled to.

I’m anxious. And pinging back and forth between hoping for the best and planning for the worst.
Wishing you peace and tranquility as you go to find the news.
 

I'm 90 years old and also had a positive reading in the PSA test. My doctor recommended that I have the prostate gland removed. I refused since my dad had that operation and bled to death during the procedure. Sometimes the "cure" is worse than the consequences of the treatment. My dad was only 72 when he died.
Mitch, you are completely right. Recommending a man, aged 90 years, to get his prostate removed, is not a good suggestion.
At your age it's much more likely to die from this surgery than from the cancer.
 

But for people in their 70's, surgeries have much better outcomes than they did, decades ago.
Improvements have been made, and some surgeries are at least worth considering, for some people.
 
I watched EKE Acres for months, they're fellow homesteaders. I like his wife, not him so much. He got ill fast!! Peeing, throwing up blood. Kidney removed...in his bones, damaged uretha which is now healed. Dr's wanted to remove more body parts. I told my husband he's toast. Cancer won. Looked like hell. Then he had color in his face. He stopped talking about it for a while then finally admitted to taking Ivermectin. After 5 days, he felt a spark, not specific, but a positive thing happened after 5 days. In a month, he felt much better. He's doing great, hasn't been to the Dr's. Cured himself? 2 tubes for $38 from Tractor Supply.
