My dad got it diagnosed at about age 65. It is usually a very slow growing cancer. In my dad's case, he had his prostate removed and lived past the age of 90. Because it's slow growing, these days they don't always recommend prostate removal. I keep an eye on it myself because there's a hereditary component to it. Every cancer diagnosis sucks. Among cancer diagnoses, this is probably among the most benign.

@ElwoodBlues That's encouraging. Glad your Dad was able to enjoy a long life after the diagnosis.
@Thomas52 Thank you very much, yes my dad was known for his kindness and generosity, and had an enviable life. I wish we were all so lucky.
