You are the living example of one of my more recent posts concerning “advanced” genetic/DNA testing.
Although I agree with everyone that early detection is absolutely the key to surviving almost all forms of cancer, going on this road so early in life has doomed you to a lifetime of looking over your shoulder, running from specialist to specialist, test to test, scan to scan trying to head off something that may never materialize.
As @michaelcharles said, everything looks positive as far as your prostate is concerned, yet now you worry about the possibility that you have the extremely rare form that expresses no - or low - PSA….or maybe it’s your lung? where does it stop? At what level of scientific certainty will you be comfortable? Will the next test be better?
I attended an autopsy once and the deceased had ELEVEN things which would have killed him in a year or two, in addition to the one thing that did.
I applaud your commitment and tenacity but give yourself a chance to breathe, OK?
