    Hi Joe, My prostate cancer journey started at psa of 100. Diagnosed w/stage 4 w/metasis of bones. I’m Vietnam vet exposed to agent orange. I’ve had 6 rounds chemo&on daily meds. As of July 24 cancer is terminal. It’s a tough journey,stay focused,keep the faith. Good luck!

    Good luck, Joe. I just got a routine blood test (yearly physical) and I'm 72. I read the results online and everything was pretty normal (cholesterol a little high) but my PSA had jumped. In February of 2023 my PSA was about 2.59 and in about 16 months it is now 4.5. My doc's office called and the gal said he wanted me to come in to "go over my test results". Well, he's never called like that before so I am presuming it's about the PSA. I think I have an enlarged prostate so I am hoping that's what's going on but I suspect I will be getting some tests. Anyway, thanks for the video and - again - good luck with this thing.

    Im pulling for you Joe. I got a 6 PSA report, saw Urologist and waiting for appointment for MRI. Working with doctors at the VA and its takes too long to get an appointment. I will not let them wait me out too much longer. Positive vibes and prayers to you and your family. Thanks for doing this, it helps me get through it
  • Joe, the Ryan family is all praying for you. God bless you on this journey.

    I see you have a fairly new channel. I also have metastatic stage 4 prostate cancer that has been ongoing for several years. I have so far refused being medically neutralized. No one knows what the future holds but I wish you the best!

    Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thanks for all your love and support.
  • @jaktao6044
    good luck. I started with a psa of 13 - went to 15 - then 17. I might consider a PSMA which targets prostate cancer. Did you do a standard random biopsy or a targeted biopsy? One (1) lesion?
  • @villaoceanblue
    Without a Gleason score, you cannot know you gave cancer.

    Hi Joe! I’d like to email you. I’m 59 and facing the ever dreaded prostate biopsy. I was wondering if you could send me your email address so I could ask you some questions and kinda get some information about it. I appreciate your time.
