It’s really amazing to me to read all the posts about prostate cancer. When I was first diagnosed I was probably 52 years old and my Dr said that my blood work was that of a 30 year old with the exception of my PSA which he said was slightly elevated. He told me not to worry about it and we will check it next year with my physical. This went on for about 6 years with no check of PSA and it fell by the wayside. I changed Doctors and had a physical and asked for a PSA test and my new Dr informed me that I should have a Urologist evaluation. He scheduled a biopsy and nothing was found. He told me with the number that my PSA was at not to worry I could probably live another 20 years. I moved from Alaska to Reno Nevada and decided to find another Urologist and he did another biopsy to no avail. 5 years later fate would have it I was back in Alaska and had 2 more biopsy’s the last one finding the cancer but almost killed me because of a infection. Back then there wasn’t much to talk about, they didn’t offer any advice to what would happen just that there was only about 3 ways to attack the cancer. One remove prostate, two radiation treatments, three seed implants with radiation therapy. I was never told what was the outcome of the procedures. So I opted for seeds and radiation therapy. That takes me back to 13yrs ago. I’m 77 now and have gone through hell fighting the loss of being a man. The anxiety has been the worst. I’m finally on the right track after 13yrs of experiencing everything that was available. One thing I learned was use it or loose it. I’m on quad mix shots, penis pump used 5 times a week for 3min at a time. My penis goes limp when I lay down even with a ring on, the only way it works is standing up. There’s some pain and discomfort but the outcome is way worth it. I hope this helps anyone going through this process
