@rhb80 My personal thought is that prostate cancer is said to affect almost 100% of men over the age of 80. You most likely will die with the disease not necessarily because of it. It also is comparable in numbers to breast cancer. I dont believe PMR affects to that degree of the population. Most of us had no idea what it was until we got it. I by chance at the gym met someone that had the disease previously but thats the only other person I know. While breast and prostate cancer are pretty well known and treated. No google search here just my thoughts.

@tuckerp , I am sharing with you that my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer when he turned 65. He is now 78. It was caught early and of all the treatment options, he chose surgery to remove his prostate. The Dr performed robotic surgery. No complications He has a yearly checkup with the urologist and thankfully has had a very positive outcome.
