That's pretty much what I've been reading too.
Albeit, doctors are always saying the men with prostate cancer will likely die of something else before they die of prostate cancer. (when I told my friend that, he laughed and said that that's exactly what his doctor said)
My PSA reading have always been low and at a constant level.(Change is what draws the doctors attention)
I couldn't have anything by myself.
I told her “I can't wait to get prostrate cancer”.
Even though I was joking, I take it back. I don't wish that on anybody.
What started me on this path was, my range numbers were pretty consistent and low.
A friend of mind was recalling that he had the same types of readings, then all of a sudden they accelerated...his numbers were still within “acceptable” guidelines, he was concerned with the rapid increase in numbers. Sure enough, he had prostrate cancer.
Mine didn't increase as quick has his but it did all of a sudden accelerate.
So I chased everything down I could regarding this.
Not one Dr. in or out of VA seems to be concerned.
I started taking Finasteride and my last test (2016) showed under 2.0, back where they used to be.
My friend's situation is always in the back of my mind. How do i alleviate the concern without having the PSA test ? If the V.A. wont do it, I'll have it done elsewhere.
