Get ur prostate exam and colonoscopies early and stay on it.
Don’t be stupid like I was. Paying for it now.

Speaking from experience, regular checks like PSA can be very helpful in providing alerts to possible cancer. Even though medical science suggests men over 70 should discontinue the checks, allegedly because the cancer is so slow growing, the should be requested and done nonetheless. Caught mine at 75, had the surgery and am cancer free. It seems death from prostate cancer shouldn’t have to happen so often, maybe even not at all.
It was 2018. I would typically only go to the doc if on fire or coughing up blood. Doc said their new policy would drop me as a patient if I didn’t come in for a physical. OK, what could it hurt, right?
Guess what they found….
Yup.
Me: “But Doc, I feel fine.”
Doc: “If you had symptoms bad enough to get you in here there probably wouldn’t be much we could do for you. That’s why we monitor your PSA level.”
Guys, get checked every year. It ain’t no fun, well, for most of us anyway, but you must do it.
He was a funny guy. I am sorry this happened to him.
Loved Bernie on Imus. He was very funny. His “what doesn’t belong and why” and man in the street reporting were funniest. RIP Bernie.
I was DX’d with PCa at Age 52, now 68. I was DX’d very early when I had no symptoms. My Uro told me when a guy show up symptomatic it’s almost always to late.
GOD bless Bernie,
And thanks
