I am a prostate cancer survivor. I had surgery to remove cancerous prostate. The cancer had spread outside the prostate, so I had radiation treatments (35) to remove the localized cancer. I am undergoing hormone therapy also. This whole experience is no fun! If I had prior knowledge of PC, I could have avoided the extremes of PC, with a simple PSA blood test. We need to change the medical establishments practices of testing for PC. This no longer an "OLD MANS DISEASE". More and more younger men are being diagnosed with PC. I am 49. So much pain and anguish can be avoided if men start getting regular PSA's @ 40 yrs. of age. Please help in getting the word out there to all men in the target age group. Awareness is the key to staying healthy and PC free. Thank you and God Bless.
