I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this again. What are your treatment options looking like?
I’m glad that you survived that…but how did you found out about it initially ?
Are you able to continue working to retain or continue to pay for health insurance?
Wow, this all happened since your last CT scan? That seems really fast.
How you holding up? Still in for the good fight?
Your entire dick has cancer?
How do the twice yearly ct scans not pick up the fist size tumor? Maybe I’m confused? Also good luck fellow internet friend
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I myself am 54 and had prostate cancer last year. I had a radical prostatectomy in June 2024. Happy to chat or answer questions about prostate cancer if that’s at all helpful.
Have you had chemo before?
Do your family members shower you with gifts and affection?
What do you do for a living?
Were you obese up to and prior to diagnosis?
if/when you have bad days emotionally, how do you dig yourself out of it?
do you consider yourself lucky or unlucky?
Hi Mate, so sorry to hear of your health issues, My father died of prostate cancer I cared for him until death. I started having checkups at 48 and at 52 I had mine removed, I have been good on my PSA scores since (18) months undetectable. I got erectile dysfunction after surgery, it is tough to deal with as I was still active with my wife of 33 yrs …You are not alone and I am glad you are still here …
