What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

I am very similar , a bit further along in the journey in that I was diagnosed at 62 Gleason 6, genomic testing not aggressive. I did active surveillance for 3 years. Psa went up and down and I had three biopsies including the first that confirmed pc. PSA 4.5 at first and 8.2 just before I was confirmed to intermediate pc at age 65. 2 MRI's during the active surveillance period. The first showed not much change. The second showed a lesion and a targeted biopsy produced 3+4=7 Gleason. After consulting with surgeons and radiologists and an oncologist I elected surgery being that they all recommended some sort of treatment with gleason 7. If you research Dr. Scholtz PCRI he often says active surveillance even at gleason 7 but I did not want to chance spread outside the prostate and I was being told that chances were good it was still contained within the gland. I had prostatectomy done at Brigham and Women's in Boston 10/1/21 and just recently my psa was still undetectable. Consequences or new life post prostatectomy is another story which I won't get into here but everyone has their own experiences with the treatments as you will read across the board here on Mayo Connect.
Best wishes to you,

Hi John,

I was diagnosed at 59 and just had a prostatectomy at 61 April 16th 2024. Wishing you the best. This group is the best.

I was diagnosed at age 63, and 18 years later (age 81) have just begun Pluvicvto treatments.

38ds. I got 28 RT shots. I don’t know how they figure out how many shots of RDition to give?

Diagnosed at 62 in February this year. Gleason 6. Genomic testing should not too aggressive. Surveillance for now but strongly considering RP.

Diagnosed at 56 years old. Originally 4+3, however after operation the biopsy showed 3+4. He'd operation three years ago and PSA it was a 4.1 .After operation PSA went down to 0.07 and slowly started to glide up to 0.14 PSA . Had 22 sessions of external beam radiation with no chemicals or hormones and the last three PSA counts were 0.14, 0.11, 0.072, so the trend is downwards. All doctors are very positive about my outcome. It does appear that external beam radiation takes a while to act especially at the lower red frequency and only 22 sessions. Does everybody else generally agree with these findings? It's been a year since my radiation and it's only starting to be very impactful at this point. Anyway, God bless and I'm here to help with any questions you may have about my experience. James - Vancouver Island , BC
