Hello,
My name is Harry. I'm 67 years old.
I'm positive I will be diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer next
My PSA came in high... Doctor didn't tell me how high.
He had me do another test which I am guessing came in high also because I was setup for a MRI next week.
As far as symptoms, occasional dull ache in the lower back that moves from on side to the other, erectile dysfunction, and constipation.
Needless to say...I am pretified..
I guess I am looking for advice and how grim are my survival chances
Thank You in advance
