At his age, which is a bit less than mine, treatment of newly-emerging prostate problems isn’t a pressing thing, as the course of the disease is so slow, you’re likely to croak before it kills you, anyway.

Not all prostate cancers are slow growing. Some are extremely aggressive.

For all you men, get your PSA and a DRE every year. It could save your life.

Your insurance company doesn’t care about your life. If you have a 25% increase in your PSA, get a biopsy no matter what your insurance company or doctor says.

A Prostate cancer myth. Prostate cancer can be a nothing or a very aggressive type. They judge prostate cancer by the severity of cancer and how many lobes of the prostate it fills. I had a 9 on a scale of 10, and it was in 11 out of 12 lobes. A very dangerous situation.
The minor prostate case would be a 3 severity in 2 lobes. Big Difference.
