This is a valuable lesson for all of us dudes. You don't have to be 50 years old to get this. It's very common and if someone in your family has had it (father, uncle, brother), chances are pretty good you will get it too at some point, so get your PSA levels checked starting in your late 30s or early 40s. The success rate for completely removing the disease, if caught early, is very high. Around 95% I think. Stats are just stats in the end but getting yourself checked out is the key.

Meantime Drew, we're all behind you, bud. Like I said stay positive. The pirate shall prevail.
