It's been good so far. After dropping a significant amount of weight starting in '08, I feel just as good as I did 20 years ago. I'm 37 - and I got carded last night. The most significant difference is that I've gone about 50% gray. However, keeping it cut short makes it less noticeable.

I make much more money and have better toys than I did back then, too.

ADVICE to you youngsters "JUST DO EVERYTHING YOU ENJOY",NOW! You never know when it's your last slice of pizza!!

Mine was Prostate too. Had mine removed in '08 as well! Side effects suck but as you say, being alive is the thing. Any guys aproaching 50 reading this, get yourself checked out. My symptoms were minimal. Almost ignored it. If I had, I would be dead right now. Caught early enough the treatment is a lot less extreme. First step, simple bloodtest.

Im faster and stronger now that Im in my early 30's then when I was a teen. I got hit by a car couple years ago and the doctor said the reason why I didn't get hurt was "she flexed her arms". So start hitting the gym!

I am 63 so most of you are still children. It is no cliche, keep on stroking and don't bitch!

So far, my life has been a very pleasant journey. To be honest, my aim of life is to die happy; when i die, i want to say to myself this life was worth living.

Thus the forum name Happy Camper. Music makes me one.

I just accept it as a fact!
Closing in on 40 and so far had a really great life. Fingers crossed that it stays that way.

Health wise I have never had surgery or spent time at a hospital. I am blessed with a handful great close friends and a close family, to which I can open my heart if needed. I also have a stable job with a decent income.

Enjoying life!

I am 55. I try to keep a slim waste line and act immature. Some people think that because they are a certain age that they have to act it. As if there was some kind of rule book. I look at people my age and it makes me sick. I'd rather be out on my bicycle then some car with a bench seat that is all the way back so that they can fit under the steering wheel...while the wife wears a mink and $500,000.00 woth of jewlery and 8 pounds of make up...No Thanx
