[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4132339, member: 13337"] It's going to be a while until I can go shooting at my range again,,, I'm going in for a prostectomy on Monday morning. During my 6-month medical check-up my Doctor saw that my PSA numbers were a bit high,,, So he scheduled an appointment with a urologist at my medical center. A physical exam didn't reveal any lumps but did show an enlarged prostate gland,,, He then scheduled an MRI for me and those results were also negative,,, But then my PSA number rose a bit he scheduled me for a biopsy. That biopsy did show cancerous cells in my prostate,,, So he scheduled me for a PET scan. They injected me with some radioactive goop and did the scan,,, The purpose of the PET scan is to determine if the cancer has spread. Fortunately for me it had not,,, But I didn't receive Spider Man superpowers either. Anyways, after discussing the three options of Surgery, Radiation, or Chemotherapy,,, I made the decision to go the surgical route to remove it completely. If I were to do radiation first then surgery later on is not an option,,, By doing surgery first, radiation and chemo are still options. I decided that the route I'm most comfortable with is the surgery,,, My operation is scheduled for 7:00 AM, Monday the 9th,,, Just 26 days after receiving the positive diagnosis. Gentlemen, it's entirely possible that by tomorrow afternoon,,, I could be completely cancer free,,, Just without a prostate. Beam me some good Karma my friends,,, I'm apprehensive but hopeful this will all work out well. Total recuperation is anywhere from 4-6 weeks,,, Yes, there will be some side effects,,, But I can live with those. The operative word is,,, [B]Live[/B] with. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
