I am open to correction, but I believe that Nelson Mandela was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate just before or just after he was freed, either way it was about 10 years ago. He had it removed and look, he is still going strong!
The prognosis is good, provided it hasn't spread.
The NHS site is very informative Pombok, as are the Axa-PPP and Bupa sites.
And Archbishop TUTU and he is still going strong

As with all cancers...if caught early your chances are good.
Will think of you and your family G, happy reading and hope all goes well.
