Grandpaof4, similar to me, my birthday was Nv 2nd, biopsy results a few days later.

73, April,2011, GL6. I chose not to go the AS route as many men at my age would do. I did not want to live the balance of my life knowing that I had cancer inside me. I would freak out every time I had an ache or pain thinking the cancer was spreading. My surgeon, unlike many surgeons, felt I could handle the surgery with no problem. As far as SE`S go, I regained full control of my bladder within about 3 months. Sex? forget it! but at my age it wasn`t that great anyway.
