Just took a blood test, no results yet.
If I miss one day of tamsulosin I can’t piss well. Reminds me of Tom Hanks in The Green Mile.

For awhile the medical profession went crazy with PSA tests. Based solely on a blood test, they would offer you the choice of surgery or radiation. Bill is exactly correct. If you are diagnosed with non aggressive prostrate cancer at age 75, something else is likely to kill you first. Let’s face it, we’re all going to die of SOMETHING. Or maybe they just say “natural causes”. Go back far enough and they just didn’t talk about cancer, it was taboo, so someone died but it wasn’t cancer because they wouldn’t say the word. It’s like the supposed “epidemic” of autism. More like better and earlier diagnosis.

That one's a mystery. However, longer life expectancy increases the odds of cancer later in life too. There is also better screening, so that is an unknown in terms of what the actual "rate" is. We had a friend who was diagnosed with prostate cancer when he was around 75. Doc told us, the prostate cancer was not going to kill him. Sure enough, he died almost 20 years later at the ripe old age of 94, and no, the prostate cancer is not what got him in the end. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 5/22/2025 8:56 AM, Dev wrote: Is it just me or does it seem like cancer rates are rising?

Scott Adams, the creator of the "Dilbert" comic strip, announced on May 19, 2025, that he has metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. He stated that he expects to live only "months" and "sometime this summer," and that he is in constant, "intolerable" pain, requiring a walker to move around. Adams revealed his diagnosis on his YouTube show, "Real Coffee With Scott Adams," after former President Joe Biden's office announced that Biden also had prostate cancer. Adams said he decided to share his own health news to "slide under" Biden's announcement and deflect some of the public attention. He also mentioned that he had been keeping his diagnosis private to avoid becoming "just the dying cancer guy." He stated that he has had time to process the diagnosis, get his affairs in order, and say his goodbyes. As a California resident, he also referred to the state's End of Life Option Act as "an option." -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
