The good news (for me) is that I am 79 and I don't have to have anymore PSAs or colonoscopies ….. when I asked my doctor why , he said it was likely at my age I would die with prostrate cancer rather than from it....that is the bad news (for me)....

When I asked him why not a simple PSA, he said.... I have no symptoms.... and that my previous tests were excellent...... and in any case the test is not very reliable..... and if I had a troubling result...... he would be obligated to follow up with a biopsy.....when I found out how that was done....I agreed with him....

You youngsters need to get tested.....if you want to get old like me....
