Sorry to hear that; it’s a shame. I am glad you’re okay. I’m 75, and was just told I have stage IV prostate cancer that has metastasized. I too was not checked starting with my 70th birthday. Insurances just don’t waste their money on checking the prostate beyond age 69 because “everyone’s PSA is elevated by 70,” and blood work showing an elevated PSA might “unnecessarily worry/stress a patient.” Now, I am going through all kinds of tests to determine what my treatment will be. It’s too late to remove the cancer or the prostate as the cancer has reached my bones and blood. Just hoping to live a few more years. I am glad you’re ok.

Our medical industry has become so STUPID!
I don't know if it is the insurance industry is setting the rules!
I just know my visits for prostrate and other items I have never been more disappointed in the care I have gotten as of late!

Thank you. That’s very kind.
