After I underwent surgery, chemo and radiation for breast cancer my sweetheart was feeling more and more tired (like I had before I knew I had cancer). He got a physical the following week and his PSA was 9! A week later, his biopsy found two types of cancer in his prostate. One was moderately aggressive, the other was very aggressive. A month later he had his prostate removed. The margins were clear...by less than a millimeter. Brachytherapy (radioactive seeds) would not have saved him. I would have lost the love of my life.

Yes, he wears a pad because of rare, slight incontinence. Oh yes, it take a tiny shot to bring him to "attention". Talk about having fun "on command"! Eat your heart out Viagra. My husband is alive and not waiting to metatastasize.
