good evening men. i have a group question here. i,m 57 years old and i feel that is kind of young to have prostate cancer. so my question for the men is what is the age of some of you?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Had mine at Mayo Clinic in MN. Mostly covered with UHC PPO. Single dose, follow-up visit and simulation. Met my deductible and Out of Pocket Max. $25K for treatment - I had to pay $1200

Thanks so much for detailed information and sharing the cost < 3 - I am very grateful. It is very comforting to know that this option is available and that we might be able to afford it if it comes to that. (*sigh of relief ) Thanks for finding time to write.
