Don't be panicked into anything. You have time to make a calm, reasoned decision.
First inkling in January- Saw consultant in March- Biopsy in April and RP in June. I was lucky-as I was later told. While waiting for the Post mortem on the Prostate on the lab bench- the cancer split from the prostate. That is when it gets lethal. Prostate cancer may not kill you but the Cancer getting into the bones- liver- lungs or Kidneys will.
And true- Many more men die with PCa than die from it. But get it checked out ASAP. If negative fine but still keep a regular check on it.
