I have a PSA of 184. Appointments booked for next week biopsy and bone scan, Seriously looking at alternative treatments as the doctors have already decided my fate and type of treatment they will be using, I feel like Im being rushed through the hospital system and feel I could be happier receiving natural medicines to treat the Prostate Cancer. Please advise if you think I should or should not explore my options!!
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Having a PSA 184 is a concern. It is best to get your biopsy and bone scan done at the earliest and doing them next week is a good option. Please get these tests done and following this your cancer staging will be known. Prostate cancer survival is good if detected in the early stages and your doctors intend to help you out with it at the earliest. There is no need to look for other options and I guess you are getting the recommended attention and treatment choices. Cancer is a condition where delaying treatment even by few months can change the course of disease and make it difficult to treat. You can explore and take natural treatment if any after discussion with your doctor. However, the primary treatment should be the one decided by the doctors at the cancer hospital. Please get evaluated in detail and start treatment. Please do not worry.
