[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4934436, member: 63856"] It eventually got my Dad. I am alot more aware as a result - not really much to add to what has been said above, don't put it off. Our GP said if all men lived to 90 then most all of us would have experienced some type of prostate issue, in Dad's case the first he knew was when he was bursting but simply couldn't pee more than a few drops. Catheter and then removal after the biopsy showed it was malignant, and had a good decade before his PSA began to go up again, and then had estrogen? injections every six months (basically chemical castration, as I understand it?) Unfortunately he eventually succumbed as it had spread into the base of his spine, but 15 years of extra life - the saddest part was that he didn't get the routine checks that us 'doctor dodgers' don't make a routine :( which, likely, would have allowed him to still be here today So there is a lesson in all that, get it done!!
