Don't know if you're still lurking, Tripperc, but we'll be thinking of you
tomorrow.

Thanks Steve and all the others out here, unfortunately I'll still be
lurking and learning tomorrow.

I think I left off on my 'tale of woe' after seeing the bone spec. He
sent me for an MRI. Radiologists said he believed it was cancer. Only
one thing left to do was the bone biopsy. We just returned from my
Uro's office and the results of the bone biopsy shows cancer. Sooooooo
it's off to a medical oncologists next Monday. Will be discussing
standard HT treatment and possibly clinical trials.

I am also scheduled for a "multi-disciplinary clinic" on 4/6 at UNC
Medical Hospital. It's a 3 hour meeting with one hour spent with each
doctor of urology, radiology and medical oncologists. They will have
all my medical records up to this point. They meet together to suggest
the best treatment plan for my particular case. Seems like a good idea
to have everyone in the same room. Anyway, I'll try to keep posting as
I go through this jungle. Later..........

son of a bitch!!!

To say the least, I am stunned!

It also means I have to turn in my medical opinion degree.

Worst of all, I.P. was right!

Sorry to hear that but, at least it's good that they found the mets
before operating. It would have been much worse to find them
afterwards.

Good luck with the HT or whatever they offer you, and do keep
tabs on clinical trials. There are a lot of them underway including
some with quite new and promising treatments.

Best of luck to you.

Alan
