Your going to be surprised in casual friends or acquaintances, that have gone through prostate cancer, because it's never brought up in casual conversation.
I found out that a few of my friends went through the same thing, when people bump into one another and ask, "Hey Valuckas, how ya doin these days?'
I think the ratio is 3 out of 5 guys are gonna run into this problem in later age, but it happens to younger people, too.
So an early diagnosis, early treatment, helps tremendously.
I forgot my Gleason score after the biopsy, but my PSA numbers got up to 7.6 when they said, "get a biopsy"
Now at the end of the year i need one more blood test, to check the PSA levels, and then for me it will be 5 years, and i guess in the medical science world, they categorize you as cancer free.
My PSA levels were down to a 0.2, so the oncologist,urologist, doc's are happy, and i'm happy.
