I'm doing ok with my situation. A couple of days ago I found out my gs9 brother is reaching out to other possibilities for his treatment, based on what I was pushing to him from this site (Meyers in particular). Thanks to all of you for the information I have learned. Back to my situation... So normally I'm a one pad per 24 hr guy these days. Or on the weekends when I'm more active it might be 3 per day. That's even if I have a beer or two on a weekend. But more to the point, celebration of my brother's decisions today, and it seems I've lost all control. Sounds funny I suppose that I'm so excited that my brother is pursuing plans to save his life (other than whatever insurance covers) that I would pee my pad(s). I'm ok with that. I guess I don't know why I'm posting this. I'm just so happy that my brother might have a better chance with these new choices, some of which came from this group.
Thanks.

Jim,
Thats good that your brother has decided to take action. All the best to you both. Ever thought of signing up for Cancer Research -- there are a few studies looking at familial links in particular BRAC1 and BRAC2 genes in family members with PCa.
