Just saw Mudshark's post about the first time he's going to the doctor in 20 years. Well let me tell you a story. One of my best friends from High School just called me up a few weeks ago. He's got stage 4 Prostrate Cancer. Like Danny he was putting off going to the doctor. He had been when he was 50 and knew his PSA (Prostrate Specific Antigen) count was low (below 5) and missed a few years and it had gone up to 9, then missed a few year doctor's check up and bam. He's eaten up with cancer all throughout his body. It started in his prostrate and spread up his spine. The one thing he stressed to me, is if you catch it early it's almost 95% curable. If you don't catch it early it's not good. Every woman goes to get a Papsmere or a Mammogram once a year. Every man should go get his blood work and know his PSA count every year after he turns 40 - there is no excuse. You guys have all been warned. I'm going in 2 weeks as I promised him I would. I will get on hear every year around Thanksgiving and check to see if you have done your job. Prayers up for my Buddy but it doesn't look good! Get your annual checkup done and tell them you want your bloodwork tested because you want to know your PSA level. I know of 3 men who had Prostrate Cancer and it was caught early and they were all cured.
