>>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.

Things have sure changed since 1994. I was in the hospital 6 days (got pneumonia along with my RP), had the catheter in for 3 weeks.

Luckily, I had/have a home office so I was able to work when ever I felt like it...which wasn't very much. I had staples that went from my belly button to my pubic bone that slowed me down for quite a while.
