Last week I visited Dr Busch for my annual MRI.
The MRI showed that my tumor had shrunk, and my ADC values were up. Dr Busch's assessment was "Clinically significant cancer is unlikely to be present".
There's still an unexplained spot on my prostate MRI, but the ADC values (450 to 700) in my last MRI are now 900 and up in the same locaction, which is the sign of normal, healthy prostate tissue/cells. The spot could also be from a lesion or scar tissue.
At this point I'm convinced that my body has repaired itself, as God designed and intended it to do.
Be blessed,
Tom
This is my story about how I'm currently dealing with my metastatic prostate cancer, which has recently spread to some lymph nodes in my groin. I was on Active Surveillance for about 10 years before it spread, and now I'm turning to the medical community for a go forward solution.

Why you should ask for an MRI to look for cancer!!
There have been cases where multiple biopsies were performed, and they STILL didn't manage to find the cancer that was there.

I personally had an MRI performed to determine whether my Prostate Cancer has metastasized outside of the prostate. I'm glad to say that the finding was the it was local to the prostate!!
