A few days ago, I got a private message from someone not in this forum, thanking me for likely saving his life by nagging people to get PSA screening (his doctor hadn't been doing it; an elevated PSA result led to the discovery of aggressive PCa that doesn't seem to have spread beyond the prostate yet, and is likely still curable).

I don't really deserve any credit, but I was still tearing up when I read that.

Get loud about this, guys: saving even one person from dealing with advanced PCa — even if, as I hope, it's sometimes more surviveable now — is worth making ourselves annoying (no one hated Bob Barker for reminding people to spay or neuter their pets at the end of every Price is Right episode). Both of my brothers are getting regular screening now, and I hope lots of others are hearing the message as well.
