Yeah that's growing approach if not an agressive version and keep monitoring.
55-65 men are prone to lymphoma ( was not in the guide book for me
)
I discovered mine sitting there watching TV scratching my balls and felt a little ( and I mean little ) lump so went into thw walk-in the next day. Fell down the ribbit hole, random doc did not like it, sonogram blood tests same day, specialist urologist appointment next day, surgery on next Tuesday ( was a long weekend ) then chemo for 6 rounds for a couple of months, then spinal chemo and finally a Hiroshima dose of radiation ....17 sessions.
6 months later doc sez ..you might get cancer again but it won't be this one.
He was correct so far...going on 20 years. Interesting that the treatment may have erased some small lurking cancer cells in the body...hope it sticks.
Take away keep an eye on your body ....small things get them checked, gets your tests, bowel cancer is a nightmare - mail the poop in.
Buddy in 30s noticed some blurry vision ....got it checked,,eye cancer ..caught early and they think they got it all.

I have a sneaky feeling that access to private hospitals and unlimited wealth might mean that a lot of the population in the same condition will find it hard to relate.
Well she’s not royal blood…but she rich, and came from money.Royal blood no proof against C

Just goes to show it doesn’t matter how well off you are, health problems can get you.
Only difference is she’ll have the best team in the country / world working to get her back to proper shape.
The rest of us don’t have that luxury.

It took him fainting for a friend to discover he had colon cancer after not seeing a doctor for over 30 years. The cure has created some long term damage.
Actually nerve damage from the excess radiation, loss of balance and eventually diapers.
Still he's alive but old age could have been more pleasant.
And the shots of him leaving the Marine 1 Helicopter on his way to the (covid) hospital ... he looked totally afraid
Do you need a prescription for any of the beverages consumed?I'm in for this .....Apparently I am ORDERED to do so
I don't drink so not sure what you are getting at. 
The only annoying issue is no coffee or diet cola. I have 2 weeks of rather bright red urine to gaze at in my catheter bag....alarming but not an issue.
Felt a bit of discomfort midships when the panadol wears off but really just a tad achy.
Back to catheter with leg bag while they run trials over the next weeks.....since no riding really not a burden ..10 months and counting wearing one.
Biggest takeaway for everyone is simply don't put it off. Far easier recovery when younger - saw one article that they don't even recommend TURP after 76 ...and that's my age. Get it done ....it is simply not a big deal if you are healthy.
