What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

Diagnosed at 53 after biopsy and underwent radical prostatectomy in Jan of this year. Have had my share of ups and downs as I am sure we all have - thankful for each and every day!

I was diagnosed by biopsy at age 62. Had prostatectomy at 65.
Gleason 3+4=7.
My first elevated psa, 4.5, was discovered at age 57 but my pcp said nothing about it. My surgeon told me I probably had PC around age 55. I never experienced much in the way of symptoms during the time from diagnosis to surgery day. Genomic testing determined the “slow growth type” but in hind sight I may have treated it earlier. I kept hoping research on less invasive treatments would come while on active surveillance however in my case that really did not occur. My surgery was 10/1/21. I am almost 3 years and still testing undetectable for recurrence however I am a different person from the experience and now know the reality of this as a journey not just an event. I am however grateful as I read on Mayo Connect over these last few years what so many of us have been dealing with as well as many men I know personally here at home who have had it worse than I have.

64.

65

diagnosed with biopsy at 69 after tracking 4.5-6.3 PSAs for 13 years. Got serious about taking a closer look as I approached my 70th which was my planned retirement year.

77 and just diagnosed with prostate cancer, stage 3, Gleason 4+3. I have a PET scan this afternoon and am now on Orgovyx (relugolix), one tablet/d. I see my oncologist Monday. I presume at this point we'll set up a course of radiation treatments at Moffit, Tampa, FL. I still think to myself no symptoms.

71, diagnosed at 67, four years active surveillance, RP 3 days ago

Diagnosed at 58 with 3+4=7 . Prostatectomy 3 years ago , External Beam radiation ( EBRT) 2 years ago . PSA was rising after operation , a little @ 0.14 I got 22 sessions of EBRT . For 8 months it did nothing ... then it went from 0.14 to 0.072 , then to 0.056 , now 0.041 . "The trend in my friend" it appears . PSA can stick to bladder neck and non cancerous cells can be there pushing out PSA at low levels and can grow. PC is very complex in nature . It kills more people every year than Breast cancer yet only gets 2-5% of the funding . Fact !

Your right , Some kill very rapid , while others are not so rapid and remain in background while something else will kill you . More men die of Prostate Cancer than people die of Brest cancer ! Not opinion , Fact ! Yet it only gets 2-5% of funding for research .

79, getting PSMA PET on Saturday. Gleason 7 (4+3) with seminal vesicles invasion. Did a bladder cancer battle in 2008 for about 5 years. I beat it and still have my bladder. This Prostate cancer is much more confusing with so many options. And all of them loaded with undesirable side effects. Why couldn’t I just break my arm😂.
