Ok, I did it. My results say that 77% of men with my stats survive 10 years and 54% survive 15 years.

Someone please remind me to repeat this 11 years.

Howard, many thanks for an outstanding article.

I'm thinking, if I can expalin this correctly, that Predict PCa is not only a diagnostic device, but it is also a powerful educational device.

One of the initial lesson patients could learn when using it is that prostate cancer comes in many different "sizes and varieties." Not only do they learn about stages and degrees of PCa, but they are introduced to possible treatments. If their doctors are well trained and compassionate, they also learn about the possible fallout ( after affects ) that these treatments might have.

If I may add one other comment, I can't emphasize enough the importance of a 'good' support group. A peer group with men who are knowledgeable because of either their experience or their education. A group where the exchange of this education and information is encouraged and expected. What we are exposed to, what we share ,means little or nothing if we aren't able to find where it fits, and how it fits into our own picture puzzel of PCa. mason Sorry for any errors
