I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer as the result of a biopsy taken a week ago. I'm 61 and was diagnosed with CML in 2/2003 and I've been on IM since 3/2003. Currently I'm PCRU. Prostate cancer is a common disease for men 60+ and is very successfully treated by any of a number of options. My type of PC is not particularly aggressive so waiting a few years would not ordinarily be out of the question. I do not believe the CML and PC are related except that my CML does complicate the decision process both from a personal and a medical standpoint.
Has anyone had experience with both CML and PC? Does anyone know if radiation therapy and or hormone therapy would have an impact on my CML? My wife thinks that If I opt for surgery (complete removal of the prostate) that I should do so now while I am doing well with the CML rather than wait and risk having both CML and PC crises to deal with. Any thoughts? I see my CML oncologist this week and the radiation doctors next week to get their input. Would be great to have some really good questions to put to them.
