@overage What I plan to do is go to a end of life act state before I’d allow prostate cancer to take me.

@tdoriausername Low on the list of things to worry about. The leading cause of death for men with prostate cancer is cardiovascular disease. That should be higher on the list as it relates to end of life planning.
Deaths due to heart disease, stroke, suicide, & lung cancer are higher - again, higher on the list of concerns as it relates to end of life planning.
Though prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in men, its mortality rate is one of the lowest.
