Hey Penny. Sorry to hear about your health problems. Hope things work out for you. When I found this site for some reason I thought I would be one of the oldest out here but I find out it is mostly other old people with health problems too. I am in good company.

I have my own issue. I went to my doctor recently for something minor so he sends me for regular blood work and my PSA reading comes back at 6.2 so I am sent to a specialist who gave me a biopsy and I get the results Wednesday. I have a 30% chance of having prostate cancer with my numbers. :oops:

Hope all goes well. Early detection is key. My grandfather was a stubborn SOB. He waited until he couldn't even urinate before he went to a doc. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was dead 7 months later. My dad on the other hand was diligent after the grandfather's problem. They caught his early and treated it. Cancer free for 12 years.

I appreciate the well wishes and comments farside. My dad had it too when he was about my age and he is 84 now so even if I have it probably isn't that bad. Early detection is key but my doc didn't even tell me I was at 3 and then let me go I think five years despite my family history without being tested again which is how I got such a high number.

I hate to hear that homer. Good thoughts and prayers your way brother. Maybe since it was found with routine bloodwork rather than a bunch of physical symptoms then it would be caught early if that’s what it is.
 
Hey Homer I’m pulling for ya man. I’ve got a biopsy coming for a potential skin cancer spot. My Mom has had several biopsies for skin cancer as well. I’ll keep you in my thoughts.

Doh!
Sorry to hear that Homer... best wishes Brother. Knowing you you'll fabricate a solution with your minimalist ways so try not to worry about a thing. It sounds like it was detected early enough, albeit so late based on the history of your family.

Thanks for pulling for me Archiweedies. And good luck with your biopsy too. I heard people have used Cannabis oil on skin cancer with success.

I made some real weak infused coconut oil that I’m not using... wonder if I should start rubbing that on it. Shed’s topicals are my next evolution

I am no expert by any means so I am just going by a video and I don't even recall which one but they were using pure cannabis oil made with the alcohol technique so it was much stronger than any infused oil. I don't see how it could hurt though. But again I am not the person to go by because I am just learning myself.

Oof! Sorry to hear that Homer. My doc doesn't even do PSA testing anymore unless you specifically ask for it. So many mixed signals on prostate cancer these days with the AMA changing recommendations every few years. Good luck!

I had no idea they were giving MRI’s to dogs. That must piss off all the people with no health care to no end.

You are totally right about the changing recommendations; depending on which protocols are being followed my doctor can be considered both a hero for saving my life or negligent. Hopefully everything is fine; famous last words, LOL.
 
You can have an elevated PSA reading from an enlarged prostate (not due to cancer). My reading was 6.4. I finally had a T.U.R.P. procedure this year in January. After that my reading went down to 2.5 -- again, no cancer detected. Let's hope you have a similar diagnosis.
