[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get an MRI. Then a biopsy if the MRI warrants.

Get "Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer" by Dr. Patrick Walsh. Order it today.

Stay off Dr. Google. Can't stress this enough.  You will only see the scary and ignore the good.  If you must, stick to sites that are expert, like Memorial Sloan Kettering.

Be strong, this can be dealt with.  Don't let anyone tell you "It's no big deal" but know that for most men it's something you live with rather than die from.  15 survival rate well over 90%, 5 year rate is a virtual 100%.  You can beat this even though parts of it won't be fun.

I just joined this "shi**y club" myself this month, and that is the source of my advice.  Good luck to your family![/quote]

100% agree with all these points! Definitely get a prostate MRI. Here’s more info on that: https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/mr_prostate
 
Lastly, if positive for prostate cancer, join a support group or two such as https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35
and https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/prostate-cancer/

Wishing you the very best![/quote]
