Doctors don't seem to be doing the ahem finger probe anymore so there's no excuse for not getting a PSA blood test to check for prostate cancer. For that matter I hope you geezers like me are getting full blood work done every year, the earlier you know somethings out of whack, the better your chances are.
 
I never get tested.

If something is going to kill me, I want it to be a surprise.

The American Cancer Society's recommendation for screening PSA tests is annual for men over 50 who have at least 10 years of life expectancy left.

Prostrate cancer is generally slow enough, if someone already has 1 foot in the grave, they don't get tested.

However, in the case of Sleepy Joe, he said he was symptomatic, which is a different can of worms.

I get a psa every year. So far so good. No reason to not get checked.

My insurance pays for My bloodwork and as such, the Doc I have likes to load it up with just about everything.

My last PSA was something like 1.3? Does that sound right? I actually can't remember the scale. It was low, I know that.

I told him, "With a wrist like this, --showing him a massive wrist -- There bloody will not be a prostate problem!

Every four months.

I just had my every three years "shit in the bucket" colon test too.

Negative across the board thus far.
A Colonoscopy that was given saved my life. I had a benign growth that would have obstructed
the colon, it was half way there, and had no symptoms.

They had better keep their fingers in their pockets.

Anything under 6 for an older man is generally good.
