Gilbert Khalil's exemplary fitness did not protect him against prostate cancer - after age 60, the risk rises for every man. Khalil, a project manager from Danville, took a very orderly approach to decide how to proceed after his diagnosis.

"We decided we wanted to get a second or even a third opinion." The couple ended up at Stanford, talking with Mark Gonzalgo, MD, PhD, director of robotic-assisted urologic cancer surgery. This video tells their story.
