I'd like to chime in on this "just prostate cancer" thread. I keep getting the "well, we're all gonna get it eventually" comments. I know they mean no harm, but it is tough not to feel demeaned in the process. At our '19th' hole/beers after golf we hold our weekly "organ recital" discussing our latest ailments and upcoming medical appointments. No one wants to know my prostate cancer details, but knee replacements and artery stents are all pursued in detail. I've learned to accept this. Interestingly, I will get pulled over to talk privately when a friend has an elevated PSA and wants to know what to do next. I guess many men are still reluctant to talk about their sexual functions in a group discussion. I've overcome that now and can talk about anything with anyone.
