My daughter’s best friend is a pathologist who said most of the Postate cancers she sees were unknown until the autopsy. Mine seems stable after several years so I’ve not worried much about it lately. My dad was diagnosed at age 80 with a version that was so slow they think he could be 140 before it kills him. On the other hand i have a friend that had a very aggressive version that would have killed him within a couple of years. They used a proton system to blast that cancer away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Doctor's office one visit my wife was complaining of a problem. The Doctor checked her and said she appeared to be OK. I said, maybe it's her Prostrate, the Doctor looked at me and said, She doesn't have a Prostrate! I said yes, but she doesn't know that! He doesn't appreciate my humor. My wife just tolerates me. I had an aggressive form of prostate cancer at 56 y.o. (10 years ago) My cousin just passed away from prostate cancer after a 12 year battle. It was ugly at the end when it got in his bones. My dad had it. Still living at 94 y.o. 2 of his brothers died from it. A 3rd had it but died of heart failure. 2 of my brothers have had it. Get checked. Get treated if you have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
