Hello Denee. I'm happy to see that you are still checking up on us. Thanks on the steps.

Hi G&R. Thank you also.

In answer to your guestions I'll start with detection. Every year I have a check up where they take blood samples to see whats going on inside me. One of the numbers (PSA) had finally got high enough to be of concern. So that lead to a biopsy of the prostrate gland (not fun) where cancer cells showed up. Treatment: There are several options. Surgery to remove gland or hormone therapy which includes injections and radiation treatments. Injections are every 3 months for two years. I chose the latter because it was the least invasive. There could be more or different treatments but those were the two options given to me at the time.
