It should be noted that if you do have radiation therapy you cannot have surgery to remove your prostate, you'll be left with chemo or another form. When diagnosed you have surgery, radiation or chemo and of course watchful waiting as your choices.
Quite often there are no symptoms with the disease and more then likely when you do see symptoms your are in the advanced stages of the disease. Some things to watch out for are persistent kidney infections,blood in stool and urine. Just make sure you have your yearly DRE-Digital Rectal Exam aka finger wave. Quite often this is the only indication something is terribly wrong because you could have lumps on your prostate and still have perfect PSA reading.
For those of us that have had the biopsy done I feel your pain and also can chuckle now about the nurse standing behind me loading up the biopsy needles, hearing that fucking spring click thinking "this shit is gonna hurt a bit".......lol
And yes I know what I'm talking about, or my 39th bday 11 years ago I was told I had cancer in both sides of my prostate, best to all and fellas go get your prostate checked.
