>>>>>Here's a blog from a guy that has a 10 yo son, so he's not too old. When would have been a good time for him to have been screened, in order to prevent the Advanced PC that's killing him? (Notice his low PSA reading....Doctors say 0 to 4.0 is good???) At diagnosis, mine was 20.4.

Yes, much better. Radical prostatectomy and brachytherapy are about the same in cure and side-effects. I will have more information come Monday after my talk with the doctor.
