Nearly all men die WITH prostate cancer but not all men die FROM prostate cancer.
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.

well I have my first appointment for the PAE procedure at UCLA .. it involves a CT scan and then a consultation.. I hope during the procedure to follow in a few weeks, they dont cut off the blood supply to any other very essential organs !! .. yikes !! ..

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.

My dad died from prostate cancer after it spread to the bones so I'll keep following this!

He had the seeds, didn't help.

Some eight years ago I suddenly could not pee for 3 days , the worst I ever felt in my life. Finally my wife inserted a catheter and what a relieve that was. On the monday I went to the Urologist and had a TURP done ( roto rooter ) at that time they found some cancer and went on active surveillance for the next 3 years with a steady rising PSA . Finally had a MRI and that showed a tumor but not large yet. Soon after that a biopsy and a increased Gleason score but not alarming yet. Two years later another biopsy and now the score was higher and I had to do something and had the Robotic operation with great results. Radiation can cause bowel problems later in life and I did not want to take that risk at 68 years old , Peeing your pants is bad , poohing your pants is worst . Do NOT neglect your prostate, a friend of mine died 6 months after the first diagnose of prostate cancer as he never had he checked , he was only 72 and died a very painful death as it had spread to his bones , prostate cancer can quickly spread to other parts of your body :bones and lungs. I drove from NC to PA to see my friend but when I arrived he did not want to see me as he was in terrible pain and died a few days later.
