I am a fairly fit man aged 49,of indian origin, married with 3 children - 2 girls aged 21 and 19 and a son aged 17
.
Statistics show that a man of my age and origing has very low risk of getting prostate cancer but I am one of the rare exceptions.
I was diagnosed as having an aggressive Prostate Cancer on 6th Janu 2011.
I underwent laproscopic protatectomy on 4th Feb. Surgery went well and was back at work within 6 weeks. However, it appears that my PSA score is still increasinbg and may have to have further radiotherapy treatment.
I do not feel ill and actaually ran a half marathon in 2hrs, 4 days before having surgery. I still try an exercise 3 times a week, walk my dog, run once a week and go to Yoga class
I remain positive and continue working.
