It's often difficult to get an appointment with the doctor at a time to suit especially if you work but we only get one chance. Early detection gives the.best chance of a good outcome.

« Last post by Subversive_plot on Today at 03:00 »Mrs. B, I will also say good on you for following through and getting a thorough diagnosis. Also glad for you that the doctors think the lump is not malignant.
As you have said, men also need to pay attention, and get yearly physical exams! Including a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
I'm living proof. A routine physical last September showed an elevated PSA. That led to a repeat PSA test, with a higher result. Then a urologist appointment, exam, and another PSA test (higher again) and conclusion from the urologist that prostate cancer was likely. Following that, an MRI in February which found a lesion, with the determination that cancer was even more likely, a biopsy is needed. Finally, in mid March, a biopsy. Diagnosis? A benign condition, but one that could lead to cancer. Bullet dodged, but the PSA test frequency will increase from annual to twice a year. I was very lucky (at least for now).
Listen to the lady, gents! Mrs. B's advice is as good for the gander as it is for the goose!
