How old were you when diagnosed with prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer can happen in both younger and older men. How old were you when you were diagnosed? What was your diagnosis experience like?
56
I was 64 But I anticipated it come since I had enlarged prostate problems for almost 20years.And Also,It runs It My Family.So I wasn't startled when I Got the News.
I was 68 and had been monitored many years with rising PSA. Over previous 16 years I had 6 biopsies and 4 MRIs. I told my urologist I felt like that guy who speeds all the time but only gets caught years later. He said that because of the aggressive monitoring and testing, that my thoughts were incorrect. He said it absolutely could not have been caught earlier. The strict monitoring wasn’t fun, but the ultimate early detection is why my recovery has been so uneventful. That, plus a team of medical geniuses.
my PSA was 15.47 and I was on finasteride which suppresses PSA by roughly 50%. I did not have genomics testing. Current PSA is 0.07, still on finasteride. I was at 5.53 PSA reading at age 55
I was 64
