After the death of my husband from PC I made a point of bringing up the subject of having a regular PSA test with everyone. Two men who acted on my suggestion tested positive and I helped them both with research into the best treatment.
Brachytherapy was the top treatment at that time 12 and 9 years ago. Of course better treatments may now be available.
Both had brachytherapy (radioactive pellets were inserted into the prostate to kill off the cancer cells). Apart from bruising and no longer being fertile neither men had any side effects. Both are now perfectly healthy and happy.
I am writing this as fear of side effects seem to be a major barrier to men seeking treatment. The first op. was done privately, the second on the NHS. Both were identical.
Both actually admitted their sex life had improved as they could last for longer. Do not let the men in your life die because of fear. Persuade them to have the simple blood test.
