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....

Yeah, Bart, you're right! Had the biopsy before my surgery, and it was not very pleasant. Not to mention the infection we had to fight before surgery could be done. GET CHECKED GUYS!
