Not sure how it was discovered, but he avoids Dr's, since there's nothing wrong with him that he can see. >:( :(
He's getting stomach injections once a month, and up to 39 chemo treatments starting in May.
He's doing o.k., more or less, as he was skiing (!!) the other day.
He looks o.k.
I have 4 brothers alltogether, so we have to be careful/get tested.

Hello Peter. I hope that your brother responds well to treatments. Take Care. paul m

Thanks, Paul.....I'll keep you posted. Peter
I'm part of a study at Sunnybrook (I volunteered) to see if a PSA blood test or MRI is better at catching prostate cancer. I'm in the PSA group - I had no choice.
I wish I was in the MRI group - their handout says MRI's are much better at catching prostate cancer. ::)

I am so sorry about your brother, Peter. That is great that you are in a study group.

Thanks, Dragonfly....
I'm in the blood test group (PSA).
There's also the MRI group.
You don't have a choice of what group you're in, but the sheet they give you says MRI is much better at catching prostate cancer.

I wish I was in the MRI group!

My brother also has Alzheimers (not noticeable to me or others) - that's also recent.......I think his older son decides about his treatments....I'll investigate.

Sorry to hear about your brother and I hope he is doing ok. Make sure you tell your doctor about it as well, they often pay more attention when there is a family member who has gotten a certain kind of cancer. Hugs to you and your family.
