My Father in law, at the age of about 70, was talked into the seed implants for his prostate. The injected him with radioactive seeds to try and kill the cancer. It caused so many problems. pain, urinary problems, stones, dysfunction, etc...that he knew he'd made a mistake. I tried at the time to tell him that he'd probably die of some other illness before he ever died from prostate cancer but he'd made his decision and paid dearly for it. It made the last ten years of his life miserable and he died at the age of 80 of bone cancer anyway with three of his four daughters at his side.
I'm going to be 54. I've had my prostate checked at least every other year for nearly 15 years. At this point in my life, with my other maladies, I just don't give a shit anymore. I've been convinced for some time that physicians don't have my best interest in mind and their own self interests are all that drive them.
My prostate is the least of my worries but I'm glad Bill, that yours is healthy...
