How To Live, With Prostate Cancer


I am not a doctor, so can't and shouldn't give medical advice. But I am a survivor, so I can tell the story of my journey. I want to be really frank, transparent even with this short read; but don't let brevity distract from the potency of the message. For some who read this, it could well be life saving. Every man aged 40 & over should read this account and pass it on to their families, friends and peers. For that matter every woman with a 40 plus man in her life or family should read this, and share it widely. Prostate cancer is one of those sneaky afflictions that sneaks up on men unannounced, without much, or any warning. But once it has us in its clutches, it is often too late to do anything about it. At around age 50 my GP started doing blood tests to measure PSA levels. Results were, hmm, OK. In low single digits. Don't worry too much about it was the prognosis.
