While we are rallying behind Dan and Teri I would like to say, there has been a great deal of talk about PSA (Prostate Test) and that the blood test is not necessary and, well yak yak.
Guys, get the test and the grope. My prostate cancer was caught very early because of PSA steadly creeping up for 9 years. 3.4 and got up to 7.8 before they finally found cancer cells. If you don't get the test or are avoiding it, you are a fool. PSA goes up because: 1. Prostate is enlarging. 2. Prostate is infected. 3. Prostate has cancer cells. Mine was not enlarging and I took an antibiotic three times in the 9 years with no overall effect. I was not shocked when they finally found a sample with cancer cells. This is not rocket science.
Much talk here about getting oil tested, what zinc is in oil, how to test gas for ethanol. Duh. Get your PSA tested. Don't let it get away; it goes for the bones.
(Ladies, get your tests, too.)
