My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer when he was 50. It was initially stage 2, but was upgraded to stage 3 after surgery. So far, his PSA is undetectable, so hopefully the surgery got it all. If not, he’ll have a very tough time. No real cure after surgery or radiation.

I’m so thankful for the PSA test. My husband did not have symptoms. His cancer was aggressive, so I’m sure he would have died if we just waited for him to be symptomatic.

I hope your husband is and stays cancer free. Be thankful it was caught before Obamacare denies the testing for it.

If you haven’t already, try reading The Emperor of All Maladies by Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee. Cancer research is very fast moving field and you should be aware of how to find the right channels to find the latest in research in case you need it.
