A very warm welcome to PCADVOCATE to our great site. Chuck is a 16 year survivor, and a highly experienced outspoken advocate of our cause. I have read his works many times, at first I felt a bit intimidated because he has extensive knowledge of the treatment options available. Chuck has always offered some great suggestions and can be of assistance to any one here when you get to that fork in the road. I have met him at another site and together we are moving forward on an advocacy project. I will announce that when I know it is launched. While he is here I am certain I will draw more from him than he will from me.

Great to have you, Chuck!

Tony

Welcome, Chuck! It's great to have a long-term survivor and PC advocate here.

It was interesting to see the number of low PSA prostate cancers on the YANANOW statistical charts. Mine is similar and I am thankful it was caught early and removed. PSA velocity was the key that triggered my family physician to refer me to a urologist for follow-up, which included a biopsy.
