Just got back from my 6-month re-check.
Still clear
They don't want to see me again for year.
Benefits of early discovery, eh?
True-ish.
It has been said that men don't die OF prostate cancer, but with it.
Meaning the PC itself won't kill you, but if it's untreated, it will grow and eventually break out of the prostate gland and spread to more critical parts of the body - where treatment is less easy, has more side-effects, or is even impossible. It is these secondary cancers that kill you.
