My friend had surgery at 79. No complications but you will have incontinence. Still better than cancer living within you.

If a physician recommends prostate removal at age 79, they should be indited, that's criminal. Most Drs won't recommend past 75. And that's pushing it, dependent on Gleason. I just read a comment whereby a man had G6 3+3 and had a radical prostatectomy.
