Prostate Cancer
Any of you guys have experience with Prostate Cancer. I hope not, but I'd imagine a disease that effects 1 in 9 men, we tend to be be health conscious, that we will have quite a number of us on this web board.
I was diagnosed about a month ago. After speaking with my AME and AMAS, I am now back to work until such time as I start treatment. As for the FAA, they are only concerned with metastatic disease and they don't want you flying while you are being treated or effected by treatments. Your AME can CACI non-metastatic Prostate Cancer.
What type of treatment are guys seeking? I am too young, 49, and have 3+4 Gleason, so Active Surveillance is probably not a viable long term option for me. I am leery of surgery since there are several treatments with comparable outcomes that have significantly reduced side effects.
