I can relate, just found out I had Prostate Cancer back in September, underwent 2 months of radiation treatments, now I go back to Oncologist next month for re-testing to determine if the spread has stopped or not. All I can tell people is to get blood work done every year, determine your PSA levels, never think you are too young or it can't happen to you! I believe Alonzo Mourning would tell you the same, he went through this last year as well.

58 here I had it (PC) almost 2 years ago did a couple months of Radiation myself. I’m cancer free now. I can’t thank the great staff at Mary Bird Perkins in Hammond, La enough, those are some of the finest doctors and nurses around

Let the doctor stick their finger in baws

Get the roto rooter every year baws. It may save your life.

It’s not the finger that will save you, it’s a yearly blood test called a psa. Your general practitioner can order it. If you’re over 50, it’s a must!

This one will sneak in your arse like a ninja. No symptoms until it's further along. Like the poster below said, get a PSA done. Never too early to start.

Good advice. Lost one friend to this two years ago just a couple of months before his 60th. He always took great care of his physical health, but he had a particularly aggressive form that had metastasized before they found it. Have another friend, roughly age 58 now who had not had a physical in a very long time until a couple of years ago. Finally had one, and his PSA was in the hundreds (supposed to be under something like 4); at that point, it was already in his bones. Get your annual PSA!

Does this mean he'll once again be coaching from a hospital bed?

Make your doctor start testing you now. Even if it's early.

Don't blow off exams. Get the finger wave at least once per year. It's easy to detect early.

Actually it’s not as effective as a simple PSA blood test done with a wellness check

54 years old! Had a fusion biopsy done last Thursday! I was at the Frisco tourney Saturday with the anticipated side effects. Get an annual PSA done!!!

My doctor said that if a man lives long enough, they'll ALL have it eventually.
