What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

@bfg1, Sorry for the late reply; things got a bit crazy in my life as if not crazy enough. For the meatal stenosis, the urologist basically had to put me under and stretched out the stenosis which allowed me to urinate really well. The urologist stated that it's possible the stenosis may return and if so, she'll have to do surgery which she stated is a type of surgery done often to correct the stenosis and is quite successful. So far, with the meatal dilation I had in Nov. of 2022, I've been urinating fine; I have noticed a slight change recently with maybe a slightly slower stream which has not effected my ability to urinate normally. However, I'm keeping an eye on it. I certainly hope things have improved for you; if not, as you said, I hope you'll seek some additional opinions on how you can get some help and relief. Good luck and stay positive. 🙂

I am 75. I was diagnosed in 2012 with prostate cancer. My PSA just rose from .26 to .84. My Oncologist has ordered an MRI for this coming May.

I thought the same thing about myself, I was not quit 53 when diagnosed, then RP in couple months at 53. 62 now, had BCR after psa rose from less than .1, to .2 and .3. Treated with radiation and Orgyvyx...

It went well, thanks. I spent the Christmas holidays getting the treatments. The most aggravating side effect was the constant urgency to urinate and the difficulty doing so after the third treatment. Urination was painful. An over the counter drug, AZO, was very helpful. Available at most pharmacies. But I did not know that until I was nearly done. My PSA dropped from 13.4 to 6.005 from the beam alone in three weeks. I declined ADT. I will have my PSA checked again in five months. My last treatment was 1/29/2023. I am easily fatigued and am told that may last a few months. The other side effects are either gone or under control.

My oncologist is pleased with the results. The beam team was very professional. I count this as success. I hope your husband's experience is also good.

Wondering how your treatment went. Husband scheduled for SBRT at Mayo for recurrent prostate cancer.
