What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

67

I’m waiting to discuss my diagnosis with an oncologist. I don’t know what stage I’m in and don’t have a scan scheduled. I got mixed messages from my urologist that kind of left me with an uncomfortable feeling, almost like he was pushing a certain oncologist for the urologist’s gain. I’ve already started the process to get a second opinion just because of the feeling I got from my urologist.

@steveess, welcome. Are you on active surveillance or waiting to discuss your treatment plan? How are you doing?

best of luck Mulberry. You’ll do fine, it is less stressful than you think!

hbp thank you for posting, I am just shy of 78 and going in for RARP on Monday. It is so encouraging to see that you and others in their 70's have managed your continence.
Best

I am now 77 and three years ago I had RP and then 12 months of ADT and Erleada. I have a tiny bit of leakage, use no pads, completely ED, presently CR and G 9.

65, just diagnosed. No treatment plan yet.

72 - my age at diagnosis and RP surgery at COE in Aug 2022.
I defer to post by trusam1.
My surgical results were excellent, and my preferred choice of treatment even though my postop G 9 w/ EPE foretold PSA persistence, which necessitated Salvage Radiation and short term ADT 1st half of 2023.
No physical limitations and excellent continence: I walk, play golf and have been fortunate enough to have taken two 2 week trips to France and Italy Nov 2023 and Apr 2024.
No commorbidities; just a bit heavier than I would like (guy speak for "a little fat").
Best wishes for your treatment decisions.

I was officially diagnosed in March 2022 when I was 52.

my oncologists told me the end result is the same which you decide to do......so I had RT and ADT done 1 1/2 years ago....I m 75 now.....feel tired but no such thing as urinary leakage or bowel problems as they used SPACE OARS. My friends who have had the prostatectomy are tired a lot too, just like me.
