I had as a teenager, but only diagnosed a few years ago ( though I have PSA) . I'm 41 now. I too thought I was too young. I'm sorry you have found you're not. You sound a bit shell shocked! Are you very recently diagnosed? Thinking of you x

Hi Annie122 yep I'm about to turn 36 and was diagnosed about 3 1/2 years ago following a flare although I think I've had it longer than that. X
