Thank you for your thoughts. I was indeed born in 1956. I will be 70 in 3 weeks.
I was diagnosed with Stage 1a lung cancer early this year. After a surgery to remove one lobe, I am now in remission. I have to do a chest CT every 6 months and no other treatment. The one right before my prostate diagnosis was all clear but lung cancer has a lot higher recurrence rate than prostate cancer.
Going thru another surgery is not something I would want to do. I just want to tame my prostate cancer before I had to deal with lung cancer in 2-5 years. I may indeed die from something else than prostate cancer, as they say.
