I was diagnosed in 2002 by urologist biopsy. Subsequently I chose cryotherapy, thats a new treatment where they freeze the prostate gland.

Year later went back to Urologist for another biopsy, said he didnt get it all, so another cryo was performed, you stay in hospital over night, not painful.
2 yrs ago after a PSA test, started to notice PSA creeping up just a little, so underwent radiation therapy, things are going great now.
They do have the new laproscopy procedure to remove prostate, before it was a bloody mess.
