Trying Finasteride for My Enlarged Prostate

Rudy, diet & exercise are as important as meds! Don't underestimate those in your protocol.

I have to watch diet anyway, as I am also battling diabetes, high BP, and cholesterol as well. I am a fishing addict, love walking riverbank, creeks and pond shores. When fishing is not being done, gardening takes up the slack, so exercise is seemingly always on the agenda squeezed in along with my job

Best of luck to you Rudy, hoping for the best outcome. Keep on fishin

Went yesterday Kim. Caught 2 dandies, lol!

Awesome, i caught two catties yesterday myself. Anytime outside makes things all better for me.

God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you my brother my prayers are with you

Hi Rudy. My diagnosis was very similar to yours. G-6 still confined to just the prostate. My Urologist said my prostate is three times the size it should be. Many night time trips to the John. I was on active surveillance for about two years. After my second biopsy showed the cancer growing, my Urologist recommended a genealogy test. This created a Decipher score. My score came back at .59. This meant that treatment will be necessary at some point. I decided on a prostatectomy. Why wait for it to spread beyond the prostate. Kill two birds with one stone. Get the cancer out of my body and a huge prostate. My surgery was on 7/22/25. Recovery is going well. Waiting on my pathology report. Good luck. Don’t wait TOO long to treat it.

I pray and hope things go well for you time will only tell god bless you
