[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH was in the same boat. He was 49 when diagnosed. He was convinced it was no big deal and he shouldn’t have it taken out. I convinced (coerced) him to do the surgery. The analysis of the removed prostate showed extensive tumors and they rated it a 9 instead of the original 6. See Dr. Partin at Johns Hopkins and do whatever he recommends. [/quote]

Listen to her. It might not be slow growing when found at such a young age. Once it gets into your bones (where it likes to spread) it is not pleasant or easy to deal with. 
Sorry that you have to deal with this - best of luck.

PP and OP - how did they find it?

PP - how is your DH’s quality of life now?[/quote]

I’m PP. DH started to get up at night to pee. At first we thought it was just due to the amount of water he was drinking. He was training for an ultra-marathon.  When it got to be twice at night he went to the Dr. They did a psa test and went downhill from there.

Quality of life is hard to determine. Being alive to see your kids grow up, etc. is big. Having to wear pads everyday and going from 5x a week sex to 0 is pretty big also. We are only 8 months out. Things are improving, it’s just slow. [/quote]
