That’s Crazy he had to wait that long.
Well thank you all for your response’s and all the information you all have provided. I’m now in this fight with you all . I was diagnosed almost 2 yrs ago . And have been trying to study this disease. And to me it’s mind boggling how many cases of prostate cancer is getting diagnosed every year and it continues to rise . I understand theres more testing going on , but at the same time there has to be more causing this then what has been research . And at the same time I’m also thankful that we’ve made progress into more treatments available today than before . Just hoping and praying that one day soon they will find a cure for all of us.

@wert1234 Remember, in 2012 a goldstar panel of ‘experts’ said that we were doing too much PSA testing and it was leading to overtreatment.
This study was widely published.
How many men, do you think, went untested for a year or more because of this? MILLIONS - and I know because I was one of them.
They did not retract or modify this falsehood for about two years(?) but the damage lasted much longer than that…right up to Covid!
So it was a perfect storm, of sorts, which is responsible for the huge number of advanced PCa cancers you see today.

@wert1234 There's no cure yet, but prostate cancer is closer and closer to becoming a chronic disease that can be managed to old age, in many cases even after it's metastasised.

That's pretty amazing, and it's changed only in the past few years. So I'm hopeful the good news will keep pouring in.
