While I haven’t had “Germline” testing, I had a complimentary gene testing through a group called Color, and they indicated no concerns for increased risk. I have logged in and opened my biopsy and PSMA PET results.

Reel Recovery is an international non-profit organization that conducts free fly-fishing retreats for men living with all forms of cancer. Their retreats offer the peace of the outdoors and the healing power of fly-fishing, while providing a safe, supportive environment for participants to connect with others sharing similar cancer journeys.
The organization provides all meals, lodging, and fly-fishing equipment at no cost, and no previous fishing experience is required. To maintain an intimate and supportive atmosphere, a maximum of 12 men are invited to participate in each retreat.
Two of our own, AnCan’rs Bill and Herb, had the opportunity to participate in the retreat.
The organization’s mission is built on the idea that nature has a profound power to heal. Their retreats aren’t just about fishing; they are about providing a safe space for men to share their stories. Since its founding in 2003, Reel Recovery has served thousands of men across the United States and abroad. If you or a man you know is living with any form of cancer, at any stage of treatment or recovery, consider looking into their upcoming retreat schedule.
To learn more, apply for a retreat, or donate to support their mission, visit ReelRecovery.org.
