First, thank you, fellow warrior. James, it’s truly a gift when you enter a sauna seeking peace and get a full-on clinic of unsolicited Karenology. Lots of people pretending to know issues they know nothing about... on everything, including prostate cancer, despite not knowing the first thing about it. Naturally, she’s misinformed—after all, why let our own opinions and experiences, decades of research, medical experience, or actual statistics get in the way of a good old-fashioned opinion?
Her "mild one" line is a gem, though. Mild, like a whiff of cologne or the slow death of dignity in a medical system that won't even let you get a PSA test without permission. She’s got her feelings—and that’s more reliable than decades of actual data and research. Your prostate’s misfortune, I’m sure, is only the result of not eating more quinoa.
As for the government’s rules on prostate cancer testing? Brilliant, isn’t it? A cheap, early detection test is available, but no, the state insists you’ll survive simply fine without it—after all, what do doctors know? Let them spend more time following rules than, you know, saving lives. Keep the torch burning, James—somewhere out there, logic is quietly crying in the corner.
Sir Hans , Again you are on the mark . Karenology is well meaning or to beat you down ? HA!!! Thanks for the advise . Your words ring true . You are logic driven in a world gone mad ! 🙂 Today - I will make the best of the day . 18-22 C today on Vancouver Island , Hiking with the dogs in the Alpine is usually a great prescription for me. Overall I consider myself very lucky in that although my operation did not send my PSA to absolute zero which chair is 0.008. But rather I still had some background PSA. Had 0.14 , I had 22 session of radiation and no ADT . Seem to hav done the Trick. I still get some radiation bounce , but they are low levels the last 5 were down , 2 weeks ago it was up slightly to about 0.058 , two days ago I got another PSA , down 0.046 . I gather the machine can red slightly different values depending on days . Very sensitive machine I hear . In Saskatchewan , their machine goes down to 0.10 - after that they say "undetectable " . Interesting .....
