Even though I labeled the topic as OT, this is a topic that is very important for all men. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was very early in development. We went a year and did a second biopsy. The cancer had not changed since the first biopsy. I was 73 at that point. The doctor said that most people my age usually do “watchful waiting “. However, he said that I was healthier than most 60 year olds and that I might want to consider dealing with it now. I elected not to wait while this thing percolated in my body to deal with it asap. Now, 3 years later my PSA is 0.14 and am cancer free.
My point in this thread is to emphasize the importance of checking your PSA early (usually when you are 50) . Waiting too long to check it or ignoring symptoms can lead to the possibility of a more severe case.
As with any situation, early detection is the key. Get tested yearly.
