I know that for me after about five years, and having been treated and it worked, I just stopped panicking about what’s going to happen. My father died of prostate cancer, but he lived 88. His father had an enlarged prostate and lived to 98. My brother got it at 75, no BRCA2 so it took longer. Having a father with prostate cancer just about doubles your chance of getting it. I got the BRCA2 from my mother.

I’ve been getting PSA test monthly for eight years, I do like to see the results, but I don’t get worked up waiting for the answer. It seems one reaches a point where the anxiety reduces a lot,
