Hey rl,
I know you're plenty worried and you want to get some kind of treatment going fast. I understand as I'm in your shoes, but I'm more than a year and a half ahead of you. I was diagnosed with gleason 9 in June of 2011. Had the DaVinci Robotic surgery in Sep-2011. Pathology report showed seminal vesicle invasion, perineal invasion and one lymph involvement. I began hormone therapy and radiation treatment in Nov-2011. Completed radiation in Jan-2012 and stopped hormone therapy in Mar-2012. Since then I get a PSA test every 3 months and so far the PSA is still undetectable. I have read several books by Dr. Charles Myers and I am following his advise on diet, vitamin supplements and exercise. I still worry, but nothing like I did for those few months after diagnoses. Over time your worry will calm down too, even with gleason 9. Make sure you have a good oncologist and then work with him closely. Gook Luck and God Bless.
