Being there is a history of prostate cancer in my family, I have gone through three of these at 5 year intervals. Got about 3 more years until my next one. Not looking forward to it.

You are smart to have this procedure done on a regular basis, being there is a family history and all.

VA stopped giving PSA Tests en masse. "Not accurate" is what I was told. They do however, use them in follow up procedures and sometimes after initial diagnosis has been made. The "old fashion way."
