I just figured..get rid of the damn thing and let that be it..the robotic surgery was nothing..in fact I had more pain from lying on my shoulder during the entire operation..

When they analyzed it they said it was a very aggressive form of cancer and I would have been dead in five years..that was a year and a half ago..

Part of the cancer had reached the outside of the prostate and this caused them concern that maybe it escaped,..i had to go back for more testing and so far nothing has shown up..

Doctors were all great and they saved me from a very unpleasant and premature death.. So now I am spreading the word...

Glad things went well for you and you're happy with your care. May your PSA stay undetectable!

This video choked me up... I never had cancer but I had kidney failure, lost one kidney and my 2nd kidney is reconstructed. I wasn't supposed to make it to 25yo. I'm 37years old and I recently had my first normal creatnine level in 20 years.
We go through stuff and I remember when I felt hopeless and didn't care. Just figured I would kick the bucket and say FTW. Then I met my wife. She was my will to keep going. And after 5x of almost fading to black. My health is normalizing for the first time in 2 decades. That video was bitter sweet. But the most important thing is to enjoy life, family n friends as much as possible. Cuz tomorrow is never promised.

I normally never get personal on this shyyt. But that video hit me.

I'm glad you're doing well now brother. It wasn't your time. I don't want to get religious on a forum but just want to say you are blessed brother. I hope you remain cancer free and wish you the best.

Amen, Unknown 370Z...HOW did I miss your post ? You learned at an early age what some people NEVER learn...It is a curse and a blessing in one...

I am glad you are still here...I know the feeling..Again, i am so glad you are still with us..

I did not learn it until I was 50...I had the first TIA while my Parents were both Dying and I was buying a home..I survived it..But missed crucial last days with my Parents..Such is Life.

Then , I start to feel funny a year Later..Of course I have forgotten about my TIA, and I am full speed ahead, Fixing the Home, Promotion, blah, blah, blah..

I stay home from work due to a fever..Well it turns out I have a bad heart valve that is prone to Infection. My heart got infected to a point of having so much "vegitation", that it threw a piece into my right brain, paralyzing me in my Kitchen..

All I could think about was my Wife and my Cats...I know, what a dork..My cats.

I survived and it has been two years... I am on my bucket Lists, within reason. I have to leave my Wife set up for life, so I can't just blow the wad..

Oh , the moral to my Book for all that have not experienced near death..

A. Set up a Will and Trust. My Wife , as I was Dying, had to call a trust attorney to come to my death Bed, to set up my trust..Had I died in the Kitchen, she would have been screwed by Uncle Sam.. I did my trust and Will, on my Bed, with a Notary and Attorney in the Hospital..

B. If you are younger, begin your Portfolio now.. I was going to retire at 62 because I have planned a long time with all the Financial Fundamentals.
When i got blindsided in 2009, right after buying the Home, my Wife and I would be financially ruined..We are not due to long term planning..Even 10 years early in retirement, I will make it..

C. The obvious that Unknown370Z and Charlie and others talk about..There is no guarantee of the next second..let alone the next day.

I'm glad you're ok now. The hardest thing is to go through an illness when you are suffering from tragedy or family crisis. I been there. But that video just reminds me, that with everything that's wrong in our lives. The people or our pets that love us. Make all the difference in our lives. That guys family. That was a great thing they did. God bless them all.
