As many of you already know, age plays a big part in the treatment and discussion of prostate cancer. Because of that, how we respond to each other's questions has a lot to do with age at diagnosis as well as age when other issues such as ED or incontinence occurs. Therefore, let us know that very important statistic. Thanks much.
