This is his Country or State Flag

Jenks46 Jenkins and Denise live in Virginia, USA. He was 54 when he was diagnosed in May, 2006. His initial PSA was 4.80 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 9, and he was staged Unknown. His initial treatment choice was Surgery (Robotic Laparoscopic Prostatectomy) and his current treatment choice is External Beam Radiation. Here is his story.

THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2015 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

When I was told I had cancer I thought my life was over, then to be told my Gleason score was 9 even make my doctor think my time was short (he said he had never had a patient with a 9 Gleason). He had me bring my wife in and basically gave me a death sentence, he said my cancer would be outside the pelvic area and may be in my bones. Well I'm happy to say he was wrong and two full body scans showed the cancer was all in my pelvic area. The morning of surgery he once again scared me with a story of how the cancer had more than likely spread and he not proceed if that was the case, I'm happy to say once again he was wrong (I had robotic surgery on July 27, 2006) my PSA; started to rise about six months after my surgery so I had beam surgery in 2008, my PSA; is now at 2.34 an my doctor is saying the cancer has more than likely spread outside my pelvic area (I sure hope he's wrong again). He says if my PSA; gets to 10 he will put me on hormone therapy. The side effects seem to worse than the cancer itself. I have never had any issues that I feel came from my cancer other than the fact that I haven't had sex in almost 8 years.(Life goes on).
