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.

Hi John, my name is Alan and I'm 78 YOA. I've been a prostate cancer patient for 10 years, Still managing it quite well and not too many side effects, I've been on Lupron for 3 years now and it is keeping the PSA low and my testosterone is essentially at zero and of course that is one of the side effects but still leading quite a decent life. More info than you asked for but gives you a little bit of a profile.

I turned 59 in 2020 but diagnosed with cancer in November 2019. I am also considered young to get this disease. My PSA started going up in 2015. It was around 5 at that time but in 2019 October it went up to 9 so my PCP referred me to a Urologist. After the biopsy, scans, etc., it is determine as stage 4. I started hormone therapy ( Lupron shots in January), Chemo in February( just got me 3rd infusion yesterday abc have 3 more to go), and I’ll be be getting radiation therapy after the Chemos.
