Oh yeah, I rang the bell 8 years ago, Prostate Cancer. If I had it to do over I'm not sure I would.
Thanks for your comments.

I was treated with protons at Loma Linda in California five years ago. I continue to have a very low PSA & I get checked every six months for a medical study I enrolled in when I first started proton therapy. The cancer is long gone. Knowing my PSA and learning about proton therapy saved my life, without a doubt.
Good for you Victor! Glad to hear of your successful treatment. After the 3 month PSA check I will probably be getting it done every 6 months also.

Last month I received the "all clear" after five years from the discovery of my prostate cancer. It can be done, Will!
Congratulations Mike! The earlier it can be found, the better the chances of surviving it.

After going thru 5 1/2 weeks of radiation treatments for stage 2 prostate cancer. I got to ring a big brass bell in a hallway near the radiation area, after my last treatment. They asked me if I wanted to, and I said, hell yeah!
The good news is that my PSA level was checked the week before, and it was down to .002.
It will be checked again on 12/22. Hopefully, it will be down to 0 by then. That will be the best Christmas present I could get.
All men should have their PSA levels checked between the ages of 50-59.
The earlier prostate cancer can be detected, the better the survival chances are.
