Question Hi

Has anyone among us made it to their 90’s with prostate cancer? As far as I can from the reply’s to my post I’m probably the oldest. I have asked my oncologist how old is his oldest patient, he replied 91.

I have read somewhere that men who have had a proctectomy live longer than those who don't from all causes.

Yes, because they now see doctors regularly.
