@juanmoczo Yes, prostate cancer is very commonly diagnosed, but the mortality rate is one of the lowest of all cancers. Catch it very early - it’s 99% survivable; catch it after it’s already metastasized, those %s drop off steeply.

(Another factoid: deaths due to cardiovascular disease dwarf prostate cancer deaths.)

@brianjarvis And still, over 35,000 Americans die from (not just with) prostate cancer every year. It's a huge killer, even though prospects are excellent if it's caught and treated early enough, and they're improving even for de-novo advanced cases like mine.
