Sounds like it was caught early, thank goodness.

Just a reminder to all my Vol brothers out there...don't ignore signs and get checked regularly!!!

I work for a med device company in the Urology space and if caught early, prostate cancer has a nearly 99% cure rate...if you let it go that drops quickly.

Prayers for a speedy recovery! I know he catches flack from people but no one deserves to ever go through cancer.

Praying for Coach Freeze and his family. Cancer affects the patient and everyone who cares for them. Praying for God to touch his body and perform a miracle if it is His will. God Bless.

I am a 10-yr survivor of prostate cancer. Mine was detected early. My PSA was normal but my Primary Care doctor noticed that the numbers showed a slight increase with each test. She sent me to a Urologist, who confirmed the cancer. He monitored it closely for 3 years until he said, "we are at a decision point."

I elected robotic surgery, to be sure it was gone. Many of my friends experienced problems with radiation and then their cancer returned. The surgery was about an hour and I was doing my 3-mile walk in 2 days. The culprit in my diagnosis was from Agent Orange exposure, in Vietnam.

Guys, prostate cancer is a killer if left untreated. Be sure to get tested at least annually. Don't just rely on the PSA number being <4.0. Look for steady changes, especially small increases. If you have any reservations at all, see a Urologist. If you are a VFL, I want it to be a long life.
