Joey asked:


I’m young, way too young to even worry about getting a prostate exam, and I’m not worried at this point. I’ve just seen a lot of jokes about it on Family Guy and other shows, and I want to know what it does feel like. I know what it is, where a doctor puts on a glove and checks up to your rectum or something like that, but what does it feel like? Is it painful, harmless, what?

My husband will be 30 soon and I wonder when he should start psa screening for prostate cancer. His father, paternal grandfather, and paternal uncle all had/have prostate cancer. His father was diagnosed at age 43 but it appears to be out of remission now after 10 years. I’ve read the recommended age is 45 or 50 yrs but if my father-in-law waited to 45 he’d be dead by now. So if you have a strong family history, what’s the best time to start?

Vinny asked:


So my dad is in his 60′s and he has prostate cancer and he has been going in for treatment. What I would like to know is if someone has prostate cancer can you live while undergoing treatment or will it kill you overtime while going in for treatment? If you have prostate cancer how long can you normally live?

Arthur asked:


I have had 41 external beam radiation treatments, 25 full pelvic treatments and 16 “Boost” treatments aimed at the prostate only. I am receiving hormone therapy also that requires one shot every three months. So far I have had two treatments.

When I was first diagnosed, my Urologist said three hormone treatments was all I could have as more would cause brittle bones. Now, this same doctor says I may have to take these shots for the rest of my life. When I asked how I would know if treatments have helped, he replied six months after I’m off the hormones a PSA test would tell. Now that’s really a Catch 22.

Has anyone experianced these same treatments and what are your results?
My Gleason score from my biopsy was 9, so removal was out of the question. My bone scan did not show any cancer there. I am told the full pelvic treatments were for cancer cells that may have been in the lymph nodes.

Several good answers, to the answerers who wanted me to go to link, I’ve tried and didn’t get anywhere.

To the researcher, read the post, PSA levels are no good as long as you’re on hormone therapy and I was told, I might be on hormone for the rest of my life.

No removal is what I was told as soon as I met with the Urologist who did the biopsy. I could overhear him talking with his assistant about what the tumor looked like with the sonogram while doing the biopsy. I can only speculate that the cancer had left the prostate. A bone scan showed that it had not got into the bones.

It could also be that the insurance company would only pay for one procedure and radiation was chosen.
There are some good answers here, there are a couple that refer me to a link that doesn’t work and one that sounds good except it doesn’t answer the question. I have provided all the details.

I guess I’ll just let this go to vote.
