    My question to you is this: what IS an appropriate age for one to have their prostate removed? 

     

    Artie, is this you again?

    Also, I know numerous people that have had injections and are now in a bad situation.  I think it is very bold to recommend someone for injections yet tell them no to other POSSIBLE treatments.

    Same can be said for injections, IMO.  I'm 33 and I have considered removing my prostate.  I have seen DOCUMENTED success with it versus none with injections.  I have a feeling mine will have to get taken out; I am just delaying and tolerating pain as long as possible.
