Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / December 2004Knee
Went to my Uro today to discuss treatments. I am a 6 on the Gleason score..3+3 and stage T1C..is this in my favor? I decided on the Robotic Laproscopy surgery..any comments? Doc said no cancer in bones but wants me to see a bone doc about my left knee???? I have no problems with my knees during the day but at night sometimes I get sharp pains in knee(s)...thighs also.. Howie Hell yes, Gleason 6 and stage T1C means you're headed for a cure. jimhoney Gleason 6, T2C, standard RRP age 52, cured, no significant aftereffects Went to my Uro today to discuss treatments.

Howie Hello Howie, go for it! Arhritis.... I had IMRT. Doc said, hum, you must be a carpenter. Yes, I am..... I see no mets. Cancer Mestasized. (cant spell) In other words what they see are bones and joints that are compromised, but no spread of cancer. You have a go ahead.... Good Luck, and wish you no troubles... Knees, shoulders, hands...show sign of calcification...normal I am not a Dr. Good wishes. John Loomis Went to my Uro today to discuss treatments.

Howie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks John..yep, I was a VW Mechanic for 25 years up in Watertown NY..40 below winters, 80 below wind chills..Ice Storms, Blizzards..Lake effect etc..and we had to push frozen cars into the shop, lots of lifting, tugging, pushing..staying in the cold trying to start a car..lifting tires, transmissions..you get the picture? Funny thing, knees ok in daytime but hurt at night? Howie Not sure about the knee. Perhaps worried about circulatory problems in that area? T1C means that you are in very good shape, as far as somebody with cancer can be. Get it treated and put this unhappy chapter of your life behind you. Good luck. I hope they can do something to help you with the knee pain. For me it is the hips. BTW, I was PSA 5.0, Gleason 6, and T1C. Thank you.

But it won't hurt to have an orthopedist check. And he may find out what is really causing your pains and treat it. Thanks..going to see Bone Doc on the 10th..Howie |
