Amen. Had my radical, open surgery 9 yrs, 5 months ago. PSA almost undetectable and no side effects. My Doc says that 10 yrs cancer free is the magic number.

I first had a niggling pain 3 yrs ago and the Dr said it was an infection a couple of months with antibiotics didn't help i was the told it was prostatitis glad i didn't settle for that, having my Operation tomorrow so far the cancer is contained as of 3 months ago but could have been a lot worse if i had have settle on my Dr's advise, so here's hoping it is still contained.
