| RPP Anyone ? | 30 Jun 2005 12:32 GMT | 3 |

| RRP & Hormone Therapy | 29 Jun 2005 13:32 GMT | 2 |
I have also heard that having hormone therapy for three months before RP can increase the likelihood of non-recurrence of cancer. It would seem to me reasonable to wait to see whether the surgeon and pathologist think the cancer is entirely contained within the prostate before ...

| Another biopsy? | 28 Jun 2005 03:18 GMT | 11 |
Knowing that I had gone through RP last November, a friend of mine asked me yesterday at his 60th birthday party what I think he should do: Five years ago he had a PSA of slightly over 4.... They performed a biopsy = negative... Three years ago his PSA rose to 5.6. Another ...
