No. Prostate Cancer is not the “good one”

It's maddening. And worse, it's common. The medical system is rife with lazy heuristics, ageist assumptions, and “practice guidelines” that often lag ten years behind the evidence. You’ve encountered what I like to call “Standard of Scare” medicine, where the risk of offending someone’s dogma outweighs the risk of letting cancer advance untreated.
Quackery isn't just abundant — it's accredited.

"Standard of Scare" . Too funny ! I have a good GP now , but it took me 3 years to find him . My long term doctor retired 5 years ago - great guy and 'old school' and so cautious . I went to this one GP , booked a long appointment of 45 minutes to talk about my case and logical next steps , etc . after 5 minutes he was grabbing the door handles saying "thanks for coming in ! " . I said to him "where are you going I paid for 40 more minutes with you ?" . In Canada it is rare for people to call-out their doctors ... but there was no way this guy was booking a long appointment on my profile and getting paid for it , for a 5 minute " Hi and Bye! " session . So I fired him ! HA!!
