The urologist did a biopsy yesterday, 12 snips.
I forgot to ask how long to stay off the bike, but I assume it is strictly a comfort issue.
If cycling causes prostate cancer, I would be long dead.
It was actually 16 snips (core samples?) according the results. 2 samples positive.
So cancer can occur with a PSA of 5.2. Presumably, mine has been diagnosed early, but a better understanding with come with oncology consults?
Could there be a good reason to postpone prostate cancer protocols? Not even thinking holistic. the least side effects seems maybe proton beam? Hoping to avoid chemo given early diagnosis.
I hate to face declining health. Again. From a new unexpected direction.
