When i had prostate symptions everyone said i was too young.When finally had blood test was 284psa.Specialist said damage already done and recomended the "town halls" removed or the hormone needle once a month.
This was to make the source to be put on hold which it does very well.Also bladder control better than ever.
Led a normal life since except for the chasing women part and getting slight man boobs.
That was 16 years ago bust must admit a bit worried now as blood test shows my white blood cell count up like crazy so further follow up tests needed.
Wouldnt have known if not for blood tests so i recommend the full test once a year.

Its the outcomes that worry me as in which doctor says what.I know guys 55 that had it removed,when psa only 5.I know older guys whos psa varies around the low 20 mark and dont worry about it.

They have prostate cancer but its not the aggresive one like i had that just keeps going up.

Most people when they hear cancer want it ripped out(fare enough)but some of the consequences include no erection and having no control over the bladder.At least with needle or no nuts you dont wet your pants but still cant crack a jolly-----never tried viagara as ive lost interest.
