DRE did not detect my cancer and my family doctor said I had a large prostate while the NPR said I had the prostate of a teenager while the biopsy also said I had a very small prostate.

@pesquallie Same here - seems the tip of the index finger is not the best judge of pathology.
Although it’s been the mainstay of diagnosis for decades, newer tests ( blood, urine) will probably render it obsolete in a few years…
And that’s a good thing since SO MANY men avoid screening because it involves a stranger sticking his/her finger up your ass…talk about invasion??
