Bladder control was improving, now degrading.

I understand but I have 6 friends who have/had PC. Two of us had aggressive cancers, Dave and me. He had to undergo the surgery, Lupron for 1 1/2 years and a life time of Targeted Beam Radiation over 4 months everyday and now after seveal years, he is getting back to normal with no cancer present. He is 6' 6" 240 and was a big TriAthete. He works out now but it kind of zapped him from doing anymore competitions. I also was a workout nut. I had the surgery on Aug. 3rd. About 6 weeks went by and I slowly started working out again. Before, I could do 50 pushups in 90 seconds, well I could only do 1 when I started back. Now, I am up to 30 at one time. I ride a hard bike to pump like a Stair Steper on level 7, hard. I do it an hour a day, then 1,000 cruches, streches and then an hour on Level 1 Resistance Bands. I just turned 70 and want to live strong again and go out of this world swinging. It is great to be alive even peeing incessantly. I can see it slowly gaining control but my control seems to wane as the day goes on. God is great and I now am close to moving forward. I live in Thailand and their medical is ranked in the top 15 in the world. My Urologist Surgeon says now, I will die an old man now from something else but he did say my first bloodwork was ,0022 and by the next one, it must stay under this or if it moves up any, I still have some cancer. I give as much advice in here to those asking it and thank you for this help. I did not know 1 in 6 men get it.

On the major web site for medical institutions and places like WEB MD you will see this statistic of 1 in 6 will get diagnosed with prostrate cancer.

The fallacy is this is diagnosis and does not address high or rising PSA numbers that patients are given and some choose to do to go on watchful observance without ever having biopsies to determine if have prostrate cancer.

Some type prostrate cancers are very serious including what stage is in. Most of the low risk ones and soley in prostrate get the option of watchful waiting depending on age. I still read several providers still giving advice all over the spectrum and can still be confusing. It is why I depended on what UFPTI, Mayo consultations were after biopsies, and then my research at major medical providers, and centers like American Cancer Society, NIH, etc. to help me make decisions.
Good luck,
