So happy to hear that! I've received a lot of help in this forum, and I'm glad to be able to pay it forward sometimes.
57, diagnosed March 2023 in Spain at 55 PSA 8.5 GG2 3+4. Back in New York, not decided on any treatment besides a just finished clinical trial with poly iclc.

1 ReactionHi my husband is 66 (diagnosed at 64), our brother in law was 63 at diagnosis but it had spread everywhere before he went to the GP so would have been in his 50s initially. We know 4 others in their 50s too. Maybe more men are aware now and get tested earlier. My father was 70 at diagnosis, and had successful radiotherapy.
A friend of ours is now 80, diagnosed at 60, had a prostatectomy (non robotic), and hasn't had any issues since.
