Prostate Cancer

   Prostate cancer, the Big C, Going the way of all the earth, and all of the other references one hears relating to cancer still don’t define its effects on life, thought, direction, etc.
   19 December 2011 was the official date of my report related to my third biopsy, which all began back in 2005 with an elevated PSA level in a blood test that the best doctor I have ever had, Torgny Syrstad, gave me as a new patient of his.
        (My PSA levels in '05 were c. 4.5, then 6.5-7 until summer 2010 they reached 8.0. 1 year later it was c. 14 - and the 3rd biopsy was done.)

1 man in 6 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.
Only 1 in 34 will die of it.
c. 1.8 million men in the United States are survivors of prostate cancer.

Every 2.25 minutes a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Every 16.5 minutes a man dies from the disease.
