How many had a previous PSA before / How many didn’t?

All Medical Doctors know that PSA blood testing is Not Recommended!! Because of the non reliability of them that could cause unnecessary testing !!!
But if you ask Any Urologist, Oncologist they will tell you it should be mandatory or at least discussed with all male patients !! Considering 1 out of every 9 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetimes.
As for my Family Doctor he never discussed it with me and says it’s not recommended to get a PSA blood test !! Therefore I never did and only after complaining for 9 months and 8 Drs visits he finally checked that little box on the Testing paper 🙈 And if not done so when he finally did I would have already passed away !!! I am 1 step away from that now !!
I guarantee that every doctor in the USA ( including my own ) when the time comes will get or have already gotten a PSA test regardless of what is recommended by a panel of Doctors that are not even Cancer Doctors 🙈 Insurance companies run this world and dictate policy!! And it’s costing people their lives !!

I wish you well going forward. You have not stated your age; that would be useful information for readers to know as the recommendations about PSA's are influenced by one's age. The good news is that you are currently in remission. The bad news is that you have created quite a firestorm on this forum with your four separate posts (rants) on the same topic. Some of your statements are untrue; others are very inflammatory. You probably have a legitimate complaint against your personal doctor for not prescribing a PSA test but it would have been very easy for you to go to another doctor to get the required
prescription. However, your rant about the medical profession/industry is over the top; particularly when you consider the advances that have been made over the last couple of years with new drugs and PSMA-PET scans. As a couple of others have suggested; it is time for you to cool down and relax.
