Had an appointment with Dr Tulley today about setting up the sugery for removal of the prostate. He advised that I would have to lose about 40-60 lb. During the sugery he is afraid that my weight would cause me some breathing problems. He gave me a diet and I will work on that I need to lose the weight anyway. I have been big all of my life and really not but aobut 25 lb more than I played football at in Highschool and college. He has assured me that my cancer should not spread during this time and that it is very slow type. gleason 3+3 6 and 3 of 12 biopiseys showed cancer and those were not saturated. He said he would feel better and that I would recover with the weight gone.
