The best case scenario is to have one's prostate cancer diagnosed when the disease in not palpable on rectal exam. The next best case is for the disease to be "confined" to the inner portion of the prostate. When prostate cancer invades the capsule it has reached a more aggressive phase and is usually felt on rectal exam as a nodule. Just like any cancer, the earlier you diagnosis it the better and for prostate cancer that means "before" it gets to the capsule.
Because some prostate cancers are slow growing (you have to know your specifics) the health of patient and his longevity becomes a very important factor in the prostate cancer decision. A good decision "tailor made" to you starts here.

The PU is removed with surgery with the prostate and as a result the possibility of stress incontinence occurs. The PU is inflammed by radiation so urinary symptoms of frequency, urgency and getting up at night can occur. One way or another the PU will "get you."
Any prostate cancer patient must know the specifics of his biopsy. Particularly...the Gleason's score and the volume of the cores positive for cancer. High Gleason's (7-10) and high volume is a more aggressvie type prostate cancer. Low Gleason's (6) and low volume is less aggressive. The specifics of your biopsy may influence how aggressive a treatment you elect to pursure.

Since many prostate cancers develop well away from the prostatic urethra (the tube through the middle of your prostate that you "pee" through, having voiding symptoms because of prostate cancer is not a common presentation or symptom. That "I have no problem peeing" is essentially irrelevant in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Digitally enhanced scan of a first day of issue Prostate Cancer Awareness Stamp issued in 1999. In 1999, medical professionals attended the first national conference on prostate cancer. Stamp encourages tests such as the PSA (prostate specific antigen) test combined with regular physical exams. Design can function as a motivational message in poster form.

Dr. Mohler informs a captive audience about the many treatment options available for prostate cancer patients.
If prostate cancer comes back after radiation...the radiation either did not kill it or the cancer was out before the radiation treatment. If the cancer comes back after surgery then either all the prostate was not removed or there was cancer outside the gland before the surgery was performed.

Just an update from Loma Linda (and a fun shot from last December): Paul's treatment is progressing at pace and he's doing great. Thank you so much for all your prayers and positive thoughts - I'm sure they're helping. Actually, Paul's really in his element here with 85 degree weather - hanging out by the pool after his morning run ;-)
The spirit around here is amazing and, having met men who are "graduating" after their 45 radiation treatments, I can only say that we absolutely made the right decision when we chose Loma Linda for Paul's treatment. All of the guys we've talked to have had no or very few side effects. For those of you interested, we have started a blog instead of using flickr for updates.
The channel the man voids through is called the prostatic urethra. In BPH this channel becomes smaller and slows the urinary stream. All of the treatments for prostate cancer can affect the prostatic urethra and then in turn cause problems with urination. Understanding the prostatic urethra in th context of the treatment chosen is paramount to a good decision and limits "surprises."

This the best case situation. If the cancer is only in the prostate and you remove the prostate...you are sitting pretty. Question: The prostate cancer is only in the prostate cancer and you have radiation and the radiation doesn't kill all the cancer? Are you sitting pretty? Something to think about...I did.
