Well. There you go again looking at worst-case scenarios. It doesn't have to be that way. I'm 50, only 7 years younger than you. After the catheter came out two weeks after prostatectomy I wore a pad on day 1 - had about 10 drops in it. Next day I wore a thinner pad. 2 drops. The next day I decided "I don't need these things."

Turns out I was right. Admittedly this is better than average, but my surgeon said "that's about what I would expect for your age and fitness".

If you're fit and 57, you probably wouldn't have had to wear pads for very long at all.

Two cannibals named Ectomy and Prost, all alone on a Desert island.

Prost was the strongest, so Prost ate Ectomy.

I have just got a letter from my hospital Royal Hallamshire and as I stated after 6 months of harmone treatment it ends and I've started 20 sessions of radiotherapy with a block of 8 remaining

My PSA is down to 3.2ug/L from a high PSA reading of 109

My prostate cancer is T3b both sides have cancer broken out so after the 20 sessions finish they retest me after 6 months I gather for a PSA test...

I'm pleased with what's gone on so far and I'm sure I've made the right decision not to be placed on harmone treatment for 3 years...

Many Thanks to all who have understood where I'm coming from...I'm a MAN as God made me in this world and if the worst comes I have no complaints I'm back to him in my coffin which I've already paid for.
