Five Year PSA my annual reporting in Healing Well

Just my annual check in I will never forget the encouragment help and information this site provided me when I was given the hammer to the chest and told, "you got prostate cancer." I have been very fortunate with my treatment and have regained all my functions as normal for a guy that is now 62 years old. So, for you new guys and now my brother in law age 62 is now amoung you just being diagnosed this month, hang in there. You will become somewhat of an expert about prostate cancer as you move through this. I see a few names still here that were here five years ago, but not many, most have moved on with their lives as you most likely will also. I wish you all the best with your journey that nobody wants to take, travel it as well as you can. God Bless
