I had my prostatectomy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, scheduled for the end of April, cancelled. Caused a good bit of stress and anxiety for me. Thankfully, my cancer was caught early and the my doctors tell me the wait will likely not be an issue.

@mike1367 - Welcome to Mayo Connect Mike. I bet you felt stress and anxiety over not having your cancer treated. I think that before learning about COVID-19 I would have wanted to have any treatment possible. But after learning the stats (posted above) I'm with you. If you can wait it looks like a better option. Meanwhile, how are you keeping healthy? Have your doctors started any type of hormone therapy while you wait?
Here's some information you might be interested to read.
