I'm 56 and I was diagnosed June 28, 3018. My PSA jumped from 6 to 8, in a matter of months. At the end of August, I began 25 rounds of radiation. After, had isotope radioactive seeds implanted approximately 2 months ago.

I did radiation and all was well. My PSA went down to 2.1 for 4 years. Well done my friend.
