What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago at age 78. PSA has been creeping up over the last several years and was 7.67 last fall. Had MRI which triggered a biopsy. Cancer cells in 2 out of 23 samples and mostly 3+3 and 4+3. My prostate is large (103 cc) and my urologist suggests that can lead to a higher PSA. On active surveillance for now with follow-up PSA in 6 months, MRI + biopsy in a year. If I were as young as many responding, there would be some alternative approach. Good wishes to all on this journey!

WOW! That is great to hear that a urologist is actually following recommended guidelines and NOT doing surgery on a 78 yr old man; will wonders never cease?.
With only 2 cores of 23 of Gleason intermediate grade that’s good news. Best of luck,
