What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

Posted by john57 @john57, Mar 26, 2020

good evening men. i have a group question here. i,m 57 years old and i feel that is kind of young to have prostate cancer. so my question for the men is what is the age of some of you?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

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.

Hi, thanks for posting, could you please share where you got proton therapy and if this procedure is covered by insurance ? Thanks so much in advance.

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.

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
