I suffer from anxiety. Everything causes anxious moments. When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer is was overwhelming. I took the option that completely removed it. I was gleason 6 with no elevated PSA. Its been 5 years since removal and all my PSA test are < .01. I am still anxious about it returning. For those of us that suffer its not an easy thing to overcome. I can say time is your best friend. Time tends to lessen the feeling. I try to move on to something else. Focus on exercise, working on kegels, family, just anything else. sorry you joined another club.

Anxious about it returning after 5 years. Relax man. Their are so many other ways to treat it, if it does. My Gleason 9 was upsetting but all the non surgical treatments I received have me down to. < .01 for 25 months now. ADT/ RT worked for me.
