@mazeppabob Wow! The PSA test has been a regular test with my physician. Sounds like your father in law could have used a different doctor.

@tonyinm From your photo, you look like a young man, I am 77. After my fatherr-in-law passed I asked my primary care DR why no prostate exams and PSA tests. The extent of a medicare wellness exam is driven by medicare and I suspect maybe the insurance industry. He made it sound like there are too many false and misleading readings. The risks associated with doing a biopsy of the prostate are quite high.
I definitely want to know if there is something going on there. At my age, I would probably have it removed before cancer could spread. I request the tests.
