Jeremy, Dear-heart, I am SO HAPPY you 're doing well!! I understand, at least tangentially, what you've been going through. My 69 year-old husband, just had prostate cancer surgery at the beginning of this month after being diagnosed earlier this year as a result of his PSA levels being so high. He elected to go ahead and do it, instead of "living with it" because the biopsy, MRI & CT Scans before the surgery showed it was totally contained in the prostate and because he'd also had bladder cancer in 2014 (fixed) & kidney cancer in 2017 (totally contained in the kidney; that kidney totally removed so as not to elicit a spread by trying to remove the tumor). We discussed it and agreed it was the way to go because, after the radiation therapy consult, he said he didn't want to go through radiation and hormone treatment therapy long-term. Since the surgery, his follow-up biopsies have shown it hadn't spread anywhere else and he's recovering well (catheter's out now, he's up and about, driving -- and with no ED and not incontinent, thank the Lawd!) -- a win-win, so far as these two old lovebirds are concerned!

Your sharing is doing EXACTLY what you wanted -- helping others and encouraging them to listen to their bodies and be vigilant about their health. I salute you, young Brother. I really do. Take care of yourself, Darlin' -- and stay vigilant!🙌🏾 ❤️
