[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 145478, member: 2624"] Thank you for the kind words. They are much appreciated. As I referenced in an earlier post, I find the only way to deal with the anxiety that follows in the wake of concerning medical news is to become as knowledgeable as I can about the issues I face. I read any and everything I can and make a serious effort to talk to people who know more than I do about the subject, I’m always pleased when genuine experts take a few minutes to respond to a carefully crafted email. Knowledge helps tame the demons. It’s damned difficult to sort the answers out when discussing these subjects. [USER=18023]@DragonBits[/USER] was not exaggerating by much when he wrote that every statement made about PSA elevation and prostate cancer can be contradicted by another authoritative statement. It would be funny if men weren’t looking for answers to haunting questions. I understand why a man chooses to undergo a biopsy. I can imagine a situation where I would agree to one. But, as I dug deeper, I realized I was not convinced, not convinced at all, that a biopsy was superior to the newer, emerging diagnostic tools for men in my situation at the present time. Too few positives and far too many known and/or potential negatives. Of course, I was released from Purgatory’s waiting room - the PSA slid down dramatically. But I may well be back here again.
