Just found and joined this forum and thought I would add my two cents on the topic. At age 49 I found out I had advanced prostate cancer after a routine blood test at local health fair. PSA at the time was 20 and they found a few cancer cells in lymph nodes as well. Hormone therapy for six months, external radiation 6 weeks, and then had 94 seeds implanted. Miserable few months, but now, almost 17 years later I am cancer free. There is hope and a cure for this type of cancer. F.F.F. "Faith, Family and Friends" is how I describe my experience! Hope to retire a second time next spring and then prep for my second Portland, Ma to Portland, OR ride next summer. (Completed the same ride in 1996 and riding it again would be a fabulous way to celebrate retirement and being a Cancer Survivor! Get checked and ride when you can.
