Suggest Treatment For Prostate Cancer
Today I got a call from my uriologist's nurse following a prostate biopsy. She wants me to come in to the office. I asked her if the test showed any signs of cancer and she said yes. I have an appointment with him in 10 days. But right now I m worried and want to know what to expect and what Im up against. Can you give me some answers? Jay

Hi Jay. I can understand your anxiety and worry.
Why was your prostatic biopsy performed. What was your PSA level.
Now that your prostate cancer has been diagnosed, staging investigations are required to see if the disease is limited to prostate or if it has spread to other parts of body. A bone scan, MRI scan of pelvis and CT Scan abdomen & pelvis may be required. Further treatment plan will depend upon the stage of the disease.
I hope your question has been answered. If you have any further queries I will be more than happy to answer. Thankyou for choosing Healthcare Magic.
