In 1992, I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. My doctor gave me 3 choices.
1. Do nothing. Lifetime expectancy is 5 years.
2. Radiation. 50/50 chance of success and long life. Will probably need surgery anyway later.
3. Operate. 80% success and long life
It is now October 2021, and I am now going on 86. Since the surgery, I have enjoyed playing tennis, badminton, racquetball, and Squash. Unfortunately, this summer I had to give up tennis since I tore my bicep muscle. I usually walk in the nearby park and average 6,000 steps, including climbing long, high hills. I give lectures to seniors, and have gone back to an old love, drawing, and am surprised at how well I can still create and sketch. I enjoy my children and grandchildren, and my relationship with my best (lady)friend for the past 22 years. We have traveled over a great part of the world during this time, and my health (except for a pacemaker and knee replacement) is excellent.
Never give up.
