when I say "doctors not much help" I mean they really dont want to sit and listen to your fears/tears...regarding prostate cancer diagnosis..however, I do believe they do their very best for all of us...and really, less than 20 yrs ago, PC could have very dire outcome for many...but was not discussed much...
in fact, even today, most men do not know what is going on with their prostate..it can get out of whack real quick..like mine: for over 30 yrs, PSA was around 1..+ or minus a few tenths..then suddenly May '25 it started spiking to over 40..luckliy, I took the reigns and got under oncologist care within 2 months and started hormone therapy...my urologist was worthless.. she was huge disappointment...altho she did order PSA test in early May..after that..I had to beg to see her...
That's such an unfortunate circumstance that so many men bear the weight of - and because of that weight, so many men just entering into this crappy little club of ours fear the most. We always hear about the bad things, rarely the good. It's sort of like online reviews - if the place was crappy you are 10X more likely to write a review than if it was excellent.
