1 out of 3 men over 50 yrs old will get prostate cancer, I was one of the 1 that got it (found out I had it) in mid 2004 1 out of the ten samples was cancerous, early detection was my friend My PSA had been going up steadily for the previous 6 yrs.hence the biopsy exam 1 out of 2 men older than 80 will get it also
At that time the survival rate according to the Drs. I had (3 different ones) at Kaiser medical center in Fontana, CA all quoted the same stats, 50% survival rate for the radiation seeds and 80% survival rate with the surgery I opted for the surgery
My brother in law opted for the radiation seeds around then also and he died a slow painful two yrs. ago from it not being cured
I got to know another guy up here in Bend,OR several yrs. later who found out he had it very late in his life, over 65 yrs old, he opted for a new surgery procedure developed after I had mine and they didn't get all of it so he had to go in for radiation treatments later. His long time(40+ Yrs) wife left during his treatment and he ended up getting a new girl friend around 20 yrs younger than him and they are still together ten yrs. later
Think hard, choose wisely and good luck and may God bless you
