Well , I can come close. Last December I had a TRUS ( a not so much fun biopsy) . Christmas Day I noticed my urine had a slight odour. I had an urologist appointment 9am January 9th so I waited and mentioned it to her. On my way out I stopped at the private lab on the main floor , left a urine sample and at around 1:30 pm her nurse called saying a prescription had been faxed to my pharmacy . The infection and odour were gone in less than a week.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had the TRUS, bone scan (MRI), CT scan,and I was passed on to an Oncologist . She had me wait 2 months, letting 2 drugs do their magic and I had a “simulation” which is a CT scan for mapping and tattooing. I then waited a couple of weeks for the computer program that controlled my radiation treatment to come back from the programmer and then the radiation , 33 times with weekends off for healing. I finished in early Judy . My first follow up was last week and my blood test readings are very, very acceptable. And I feel great.

Last November I paid $35 for a PSA test , and I never questioned or worried about who was paying for this trip I was forced to take. I don’t recommend that trip so if you’re male and over 50 , get a PSA test, it might save your life.

“if you’re male and over 50 , get a PSA test, it might save your life.”

Glad you’re doing well but no thanks, way too many false positives and unnecessary procedures because of it.
