Masturbation (ejaculation) dilemma

No reason to feel foolish; we've all been there and done that at some point. In my case I was exactly the opposite; I was sure I didn't have prostate cancer. But when my psa started going up my PA ordered an MRI. It showed a lesion, and even though I didn't think I had cancer I drove 300 miles to where I could get an MRI fusion biopsy so I knew they'd be able to biopsy the lesion. I fully expected it to not be cancer. Lo and behold, I had 3+4=7. Then I felt foolish when I reflected how sure I was I didn't have cancer. The important thing is to make the effort to find out early since prostate cancer is so much better to find early as compared to later. Best wishes.

I started to process of getting seen at The Mayo Clinic Arizona -- "applied" and sent all related records. I know they have state-of-the-art technology for diagnoses and treatment. Still, I genuinely like my local urologist and will see him in a week. I definitely want an MRI guided biopsy. Then go from there. My father from prostate cancer at age 65 in 2000. I know that so many things have changed -- evolved for the better -- since then. Thanks again for your sharing. I appreciate it. Be well.
