I was strong through a delayed diagnosis by my uro, and then I did all the things to get the ralp done and get my life back together and go back to work, and try to enjoy life again with terrible fear of recurrence. And now it’s back and the likely advice from my onc will be wait 3 months while it gets worse so we can see it. It’s just a shit sandwich. There goes any dream I had left of any normal kind of retirement, I have watched my own DAd do RALP, recurrence 7 years later, lymph removal, radio, hormones, chemo that took away the use of his hands, and now still get shots every months for hormones.

Yup, a shit sandwich with extra on the side for dipping…your cancer is NOT your Dad’s - they’re all different.
Also, newer drugs mean less side effects and better diagnostic tools can help your team hit the cancer earlier.
I will say this again: find the VERY BEST TEAM AVAILABLE for your situation - no short cuts, no BS about it being too far away or inconvenient.
If you are really scared to death, act like it and go the extra mile to get the best. More than that you cannot do…
BTW, I am retired and loving every freakin minute of it - the ADT and my trips to Sloan were still better than going to work🤣!!
