St. Peregrine, pray for him
Just got off the line with my daughter. She is asking for prayers for the father of one of her friends.
diagnosed with prostate cancer.
PSA 8, Gleeson (spelling?) 8
name is Carl
in Florida.
59 year old.
the numbers indicate a really agressive form.
he's a chem engineer who spent his life working around possible carcinogens.
I told her I'd call out the troops.
Am asking for help from St. Peregrine and St. Gianna, as well.

Gleason 8 high but not fatal. He needs to have a PET scan to make sure there is no metastatic disease. If none, then go to a good Radiation Oncologist for IMRT of the pelvis. That should take care of it. Prayers, of course, always improve the outcome!
