| Stunned by the diagnosis?
I was online, reading info about questions to ask regarding my prostate biopsy report which would have been delivered tomorrow. The phone rang; it was the NP from the urologist. "No negative tumor; no atypical cells found," she said. "You don't need to come in for the report..." I'm as stunned as I am grateful to hear this news. Even so, given all that I've read during the past 90 days about prostate cancer, I find some inner mistrust about the results. The NP does not think a second read of the slides is necessary since no atypical cells were found. Should I send them out anyway? I'm elated, confused,and at a loss for words. She said we will do another PSA/DRE in 6 months to follow. What should I do with this news?
