@dadcue I had an enlarged prostate. Having trouble with quick trips to the bathroom. My PSA was normal at 1.0. I went to a urologist and he said that it was enlarged my PSA was normal probably BPH but we could only be sure by doing a biopsy. My father passed away from complications of prostate cancer. Biopsy came back 1 out 12 samples with cancer. contained in the prostate. Dr recommended monitor. I couldnt do it. I could see no reason to wait on it to get worse. So I removed it. 6 years now with no PSA. < .01. But I have had to live with side effects. I am on the Mayo prostate site. Some very educated men on that site.

My father lived to be 96 and his philosophy was that IF he had some "medical issues" then he didn't want to know about them. It was blissful ignorance but it seemed to help with his longevity. It was kind of like what he didn't know wouldn't kill him ... or at least he wouldn't know what killed him.
