Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2006Path Report
Hi All, I just want to drop a quick note. We went to the Dr.today for result. The margins were negative. Gleason went from 6 to 7. The seminal vessel base (both) showed cancer. The Dr. said it just puts him at a higher precentage for cancer to return but he is happy with his progress and feels it is positive. We are happy for the report! I will think every day about the chances of no return and not dwell on the chance of return. I will work on this.. I will be more spefic later. Paul goes back to work Monday and is feeling good..still quite sore but good. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Lisa Good for you Lisa - - concentrate on the positive, not the negative. Congrats on the report!! Happy Thanksgiving. Jean > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Lisa Thanks Jean! The more I read the more I feel a real let down on his report. I was so focused on clear margins I did not know anything about seminle problem. I don't even know if I am spelling correctly...I am taking a moment from cooking. However, we will have first psa in March and we have to find a way to feel some sort of hope. I don't know...I am just disappointed, I suppose. I really thought we were going to get it all out and be free and clear. I have to find a way to stay focused on the plus side of the % of it coming back. It is after all in God's hands not ours. We can only do what we can and have faith. It is easy to say, easy to write but much harder to live by. I am thankful today...Happy Thanksgiving to all > Good for you Lisa - - concentrate on the positive, not the negative. > Congrats on the report!!

I agree - focus on the positive and be thankful and, I second, "Happy Thanksgiving" Rich > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > later. Paul goes back to work Monday and is feeling good..still quite > sore but good. Post operative biopsies are often a G7 when the needle biopsy was a G6. But, the seminal vesicles throw him into a T3. Cancer is harder to cure if it's in the seminal vesicles. That's not to say that it cannot be held at bay. I am T3 (seminal vesicle involvement) and, at 6 years (almost) my PSA is less than 0.04. I'm thinking I have a good chance at living until there is a cure. Ergo, Paul should be thinking the same thing.
