Credit where credit is due. I'd love to see more of that.
Evidently they think they can manage it.

It sounds like they can keep this at bay until he dies of something else

Agree. My dad had prostate cancer, they caught it early, did the surgery and told him likely something else would kill him before it did. He developed Frontotemporal dementia and died a few years ago.

My sister’s husband has frontotemporal dementia and lost his ability to speak. He’s in hospice now.

My dad’s voice changed, got kind of squeaky. But he didn’t forget us like my mom has. He insisted to the staff in memory care that he call both my brother and I on Christmas morning (he died less than 3 months later). He knew where he was and his sense of direction was amazing, which meant he could get places he wasn’t supposed to go, and quickly. But he lost impulse control and that was dangerous, because he would feel the need to immediately act on a thought and when he was stopped he could get angry. Angry and afraid. He did not deal with memory care well. It was heartbreaking.

Following PSA screening in 2018 and a bioposy in 2019, I was diagnosed with a Gleason 6 prostrate cancer. A subsequent MRI scan and another (ugh) bioposy a more aggressive garden of cancer cells were detected. Choice was surgery or radiation. I chose the former and the surgery was done in early June 2020.
After now five years my PSA level has remained at .01 . Will do this year’s follow up PSA test sometime in June or July. Anticipate that everything will be A okay again.
Early detection through screening was the key. For me it was totally asymptomatic.

That's tough. In an odd way, I'm lucky parents have not had major medical issues yet, but in their 70s, I'd have to imagine they'll be facing some similar scenarios in the next decade or two. Hard to imagine, yet easy to see. Sad.

Yeah, i have my PSA checked regularly. Glad that worked out. It is possible to have more than one type of cancer cell.

Both my parent’s symptoms started to become apparent to the rest of us when they were in their early 80’s. I think earlier than that to them. My dad was a mathematician, he has an (old) algorithm named after him. Work was his life, and he continued to consult, etc after retirement. I remember asking him about work one visit and he said he could no longer do the calculations.

Glad they caught yours early!
