What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

Posted by john57 @john57, Mar 26, 2020

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.

I’m 71 years old. My previous doctor never talked about PSA test until he retired. The new doctor tested and found PSA 6.4 and he sent me to urologist to do biopsy. I got prostate cancer !
Still wait for radiation therapy to start next month.

A healthy and very active 78. Seeing Dr. Kwon for the first time for recurrent PC in early February. Heard some good reports from other patients. Not the best month to visit Rochester, MN!

Sorry about the recurrent PCa. You are certainly going to the right place.
Just a comment about Mayo/Rochester in January/February. My PBT treatment was in late Jan/early Feb 2020. Despite the fact that I live in a winter climate I too thought Rochester wouldn't be fun and considered going to Mayo/Scottsdale AZ. Glad that didn't pan out for other reasons.
I used the tunnels between bldgs (sometimes called the subway), but I also found walking out-of-doors more expeditious. (The tunnels can be a maze.) If you are going to be there a while there is lots to experience: Public library cards for visitors for $1/wk, there is a great food coop (can eat there), probably some public music & theatre events have restarted. I took an Uber to/from a great traditional barbecue restaurant (the Uber cost more than the meal). Take an organized tour of the art work at Mayo. Go visit the (Mayo) Plummer bldg (a gorgeous art deco palace) - I think there is a Mayo history museum in the Plummer.
Dining opportunities are diverse but some may still be closed.

Good luck with your recovery. I turned 60 a week before I had my surgery in August of 2022.
