[QUOTE="Michael S, post: 5867526, member: 419"] I started having PSA testing at 48 because I have blood relatives who had prostate cancer. At 51 I was diagnosed through a biopsy in July 2016. I went on to active surveillance where your PSA is tested every three months without any real drama. Following a more detailed, transperenial(sp), biopsy in February 2017 things had moved on from Gleason 6 to a small amount of Gleason 7 but in the summer I started suffering from urine retention. Although pills have allowed me to carry on as normal I now have two problems. After consulting with two urologists the decision has been made to remove my prostate as the best course of action, an operation that is less than two weeks away. Whilst I'm not looking forward to the operation at least the cancer has been caught in good time. If you are over 50 and have blood relatives that have had prostate cancer I'd get your PSA checked, the test maybe imperfect but it could save you a lot of problems or extend your life. [/QUOTE]
