62
I am 72, diagnosed in 2024. Starting radiation in a few week. Orgovyx has affected my heart rhythm. In the process of figuring out how to proceed.
Had mine at Mayo Clinic in MN. Mostly covered with UHC PPO. Single dose, follow-up visit and simulation. Met my deductible and Out of Pocket Max. $25K for treatment - I had to pay $1200
Thanks so much for detailed information and sharing the cost < 3 - I am very grateful. It is very comforting to know that this option is available and that we might be able to afford it if it comes to that. (*sigh of relief ) Thanks for finding time to write.
65 yrs
Diagnosed at age 51.
PSA was 6.4
Surgery 7 weeks later.
65, but I've noticed that my age tends to increase over time.
79
Diagnosed at 78. Had radiation treatments. Gleason 8, and BRACAII mutation
Update Its been almost 3 years since diagnosis, 2.5 years after treatment, all good, PSA dropped to 0.05, living life as normal, side effect from ADT its libido to 0, but, we are alive and living life to the fullest!
best, keep fighting!

Age 68 & diagnosed at 66.
Had 28 rounds of IMRT radiation & 18 months of hormone therapy. So far so good . Thanks everyone for your input. These all sound pretty positive results which we need to hear. Does everyone feel comfortable they are on a curative path. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am still dealing with anxiety worrying about this . I know it doesn’t do any good. lol How does anyone out there deal with it.
Thanks
