Sorry to go so off topic but if this post helps one
person then I will happily endure the ire of my
fellow listoids for years to come.

I have been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.
It could have been detected as early as 2000 or so
had I had a simple PSA test then [Blood test.? Costs
about 15 or 20 dollars] and today I would not be
approaching surgery and followup therapy for two
years at the end of this month.

My very first PSA was 6 times the panic button
number, so its been growing in there for some time
and is quite aggressive. Zero symptoms, so PSA is
the best early detector.

I urge every man on this list who is over 40 to get
a PSA test, if not for yourselves, then for your
wives, sons, daughters, girlfriends, mothers,
fathers, friends and anyone else you care about.?
They need you in their lives and early detection
means 99% survivability.? Do it TODAY! NOT
TOMORROW!!!

[getting off soapbox now]
