Hello Tony. I certainly will. Friends tell me different things, that if there was cancer I would have been told by now and that sometimes it takes longer than 9 days to hear back. I this point I am involved in my fun things and not that worried about it. Had to be done again, given my Family History. Dad had prostate removal along with removal of some lymph nodes during the removal and Lupron monthly injection for I believe 8 years or so and some type of oral chemo as well. Had side effects but from I remember the worst was “hot flashes” from the Lupron since it messes with a man’s hormones. He passed in 2016 but not from cancer. In fact he used to see Oncologist only once yearly from 2008 until his death. My Uncle had prostatectomy as well, no chemo etc, no radiation. Passed from something else, not cancer. My brother had prostatectomy at age 53 and nothing else and is doing very well at age 67. His and Uncle’s were caught early, Dad’s a bit late.
