I've been recently diagnosed and my cancer is very early.  My urologist recommends against surgery because I'm diabetic and overweight.  I'd like to hear from anyone in similar circumstances.

Hello Ari,

 

I am sorry to hear that your tests came back cancer, but so glad to know you caught it very early!!

 

Back in January, Dr Marc Greenstein posted a sharepost about this very subject. I believe it might even be an answer to your request for information. Now while online information is no replacement for your doctor's advice, he does cover the subject quite well . You can read the entire article here.  

 

He also wrote an article here about the subject profiling a 79 year old man with cancer and diabetes.  

 

I hope you find this helpful. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing and what method of treatment you decide to do.

Take care,


Vicki M
