I have treated a number of elderly males with long standing diagnoses of prostate CA. Your anecdotes are interesting but don't cut any ice. The stats are what they are. Lots more elderly prostate CA patients than breast cancer patients. Two dfferent animals.

I have also seen men treated for more aggressive forms of prostate CA. They have sometimes lost potency and sometimes developed secondary female sex characteristics. These are not urban legends.

Again, the reason statistics are invaluable is because reliance on anecdotes has an unacceptibly high error factor.

When it’s your nuts on the line, will you “sit and wait”? I’m talking about patients in their 60s, not 80s.
