Stage 4 Prostate Cancer

Posts Tagged ‘biopsy.’

cancer in them. What is the chance that cancer has spread out the prostate?

been married for 11 years, she had hep c prior to that (tattoo related) about 10 years ago she had a liver biopsy, she did not really talk about it much. we have 2 children and she drinks about 2 to 3 glasses of red wine per night – Every night for the last 4 months without fail. Prior to that she has always enjoyed afew, but not as much as now.
I found a Dr’s note to a specialist asking to take IMMEDIATE and CONTINUOUS assessment and Management of my wife. The pathology script had tests on it : LFT, HCV RNA FBP INR?. I have asked her about it but she does not really tell me. I know that i need to talk to her but does anyone know what the tests are or at what stage a hep c person gets a liver biopsy? – She did mention a bout 1 month ago that a ‘friend of hers’ has prostate cancer and he has not told his wife because he does not want her to worry, I am thinking that a role reversal and she does not want me to worry is the likely scenario. she has become very secretive.
im a bit concerned, has any one had these tests and i read that the only reason you get a liver biopsy is if you have liver scarring
thanks for that reply Cindy123.
I do find if very usefull, I remembered a couple of additional things. she mentioned that her Dr said she was producing antibodies so dont have to worry, but then she said that she is deffinatly not doing the treatment?
sounds very confused, and to continue drinking 2-3 wines per night for the last few months its concerning

They do not know if it has spread yet to other organs. that makes all the difference in the world to his treatment and to his prognosis. If they had taken 16 samples in the biopsy and 5 came out positive wouldnt that be a sign that it has not spread?

my 68 year old dad had a biopsy and it came back posative for cancer. their gonna do more tests. but they didnt find it in the rectel finger exam. is it curable? im scared
