Most useful to me was having a close friend who had gone through this a few years ahead of me. He was most gracious listening to my thoughts, concerns and feelings, which helped me tremendously.

As the old saying goes, "Keep on trucking".
Glad to read that you came through your treatment in great condition and things have gone well. regarding what I bolded -- Unlike some I never take offense since we are all *brothers in arms* in the desire to overcome our predicament. A little difference in my diagnosis is that I am a member of the 5% PCa (Prostate Cancer) grouping. That means that only 5 men of every 100 diagnosed World Wide have biopsy results as bad as mine. Finally made it to the top of the ladder only it's not the way I wanted.

Bike ON.
