Prostatectomy or Radiation? Lot of stress over which to choose

Something to consider. I attend a weekly ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer meetings. You could check out the website and see what’s going on.
Starting in January, they’re going to have a meeting every three months for people who have BRCA2 and other genetic issues. There is actually a BRCA2 email. group for people to communicate with each other. Occasionally, someone will come to the meeting that has BRCA2, but they usually have advanced cases. It’s disappointing to hear somebody in their 40s and 50s who just found they have PC and have multiple Mets and a high Gleason scores.

With the help of Joel Axler, amongst the first of our BRCAbros, AnCan is launching a quarterly Inherited Mutations Support Group starting in January, 2026. The Group is scheduled for the 2nd Thursday in the first month of each Quarter - January, April, July and October. We may also schedule extra education sessions if requested... and more support groups if you want them.

@jeffmarc thank you for guiding me to ancan.org — I visited the website this morning and was impressed with the dedication and experiences of its founding members. I will consider joining this group to gather additional insights — especially the quarterly BRAC2 meetings. Really appreciate your attention and care about this very interesting period in my life. Thank you.
