Is prostate cancer a death sentence?
Question:
Answers:
I had a psa of 3.6, with a 3+3=6 Gleason score, and TC1 tumor score, at 51 years old. My chances of survival after the prostechomy are 85%-90%.
Your gleason score and tumor, and what you do to cure your cancer, determine you chances of survival. There are extensive tables on the subject.
Other Answers:
Not in every case, depending on the stage. My father was operated on fairly early and the cancer removed. He must go for yearly checkups.
no way I used to work in a medical centre 10 years ago now and men I knew then diagnosed with prostte cancer are still alive now.

Prognosis for prostate cancer is excellent if detected early. And do not accept a single doctors recommendation as they are about 5 accepted treatments depending on the stage and tppe of cancer.
No. Get a second opinion and follow the combined doctor's recommendations.
I know many cancer survivors that are living healthy, productive lives. Get treated NOW though, as it is not something that you can take your time with.
