Keep a good eye and finger.... on your prostate and you should be ok , do not let fear of it kill you.
That is a potent way of putting it.

It is, and it points to one of the pertinent questions a bloke has to ask. Prostate cancer is relatively slow growing. So, is it worth having surgery or other treatments with their various risks and side effects or hanging on for a while and monitoring it closely. The age of the patient will be an important consideration in this difficult matter.
Surgeons, with the best will in the world, will often urge a bloke to surgery because that's what they do best to cure people. It may not be the wisest course.
Again, good luck Chuck.
