That’s a question I’ve always meant to ask the urologist. I am\was a G7. I did ask my urologist how close I was to potentially cancer leaving my prostate. He said that in his opinion, 6 months it...

Thanks for sharing your story!...
I was diagnosed at a younger age like you. I am glad you caught it early enough before it got any worse. For me, I waited 6 months before I got back in my normal exercise routine. I did. It want...
Please keep your mind full of positive thoughts. Try not to dwell on the negativity. For me, that was worse than the physical toll it took on me. I was 46 when diagnosed and treated. I understand the...

Thanks Bill. I’m glad your PSA is undetectable. I’ll have to put my pathology stats down later on. It has a lot of information that I don’t quite get. All I concentrated on was the surgeon telling me...
