I have AFLAC insurance that pays for my PSA every year, but some doctors don't like the results they often come up with.   Maybe Joe can confirm this, but we all have a little cancer in us and if the PSA shows a higher than normal count, that normally calls for a biopsy, if that's positive, it means surgery and/or radiation or chemo.  In way too many cases, nothing was necessary.   I know a number of men who were diagnosed after a PSA who did nothing successfully.  It's unfortunate that Ryne wasn't one of them.

PSA tests have a lot of controversy. 

They can definitely detect prostate cancer, but they also lead to a lot unnecessary biopsies.  So doctors do them routinely.  Doing a rectal exam with the PSA helps some, but still leads to more biopsies.  I tend to discuss the risk/reward with patients and see if they want to get one. 

The older you are the slower growing the prostate cancer tends to be.  It isn’t that you don’t need to treat it, it is just by the time it would spread the person likely would have died with something else.  Ryne is kinda on the older end of where aggressive prostate cancer tends to show up. 

I have some smaller risk of prostate cancer and have paid to have a PSA done. I don’t do it every year, because I’m not 50 yet.  When I do hit 50 I’ll probably get it yearly for awhile.  The current recommendation is stopping at 75 and I’ll probably quit then.  My mother treated my grandfather with dementia for prostate cancer at 90.  I could of hit the doctor that ordered a PSA on him.

You should have. 90 is ridiculous.

I get tested every 3 months since my diagnosis 4 years ago (just shy of 52 at the time). I’ve been on AS (active surveillance) since that time. It’s a roller coaster ride.

True story.  A good friend's daughter was in med school to be a doctor.   She and her dad talked on the phone most nights.   One night she was excited because her class of 26 men and women had gotten a chance to practice prostate exams and some people had to do more than once.   Her father said, my goodness where do you get that many volunteers?  Oh, it's just one guy.  He volunteers every year.

Methinks he has shady motives for volunteering.

At least I was told it was true.

We had a nurse practitioner that let 200+ medical students practice a pelvic exam on her every year.  It is great and sorta weird that people let student doctors practice on them.  The plastic models you start with just aren't realistic enough.

The first prostate exam I did as a student they guy said I better not feel 2 arms on my back.  I turned beat red and the attending I was with was laughing.  It was his friend that said it.

There is a Cubs/Giants game from 1972 on Marquee right now. Fergie is pitching vs. Steve Stone. Dave Kingman is playing 3B for the Giants.

And I have never seen these Cubs road jerseys. It’s black and white, so no idea what color they are…it’s a road game though…they say Chicago in an arc across the front, and the player number is dead center underneath Chicago…right on the belly. They are pullovers, with the Cubby Bear on the left sleeve.
