    My brother told me he has prostate cancer, he told me because he has it, and my Dad also had it GO get it checked. It takes 10 minutes to have a blood test and PSA reading,  I had the test 3 weeks ago, I am writing this sitting in the hospital waiting for a biopsy.
    As my PSA reading is high, my brother now had prostate cancer in his spine, ribs, and pelvis. My biopsy will show that I have the cancer also but thanks to my brother it will be small and can be removed.
    My brother may very well have saved my life.

    I am posting for my HDF brothers 
    Check your PSA it takes a simple blood test and it free 
    Cheers Bloodog

    I had the radical prostatectomy surgery last December, picked it up early & got it out soon as I could.
    My message to my mates is the same as yours, get it checked annually

    Unfortunately blokes are still dying from this

    You're terrible Muriel :).
    Best wishes for a positive result for yourself and your brother bloodog.

    Regular tests here as well, a small price to pay for peace of mind after seeing a number of people I know get it.

    A simple blood test 5 years ago would have avoided my radical prostate surgery 
    MANY READING THIS WILL HAVE HIGH PSA and not know, there are no symptoms 
    GET A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST

    When you put it like that BD  it makes a lot of sense.  I was at the  quack last week for something  fairly trivial but he suggested that I get my blood checked. 
    Everything was ok except for slightly high cholesterol.  
    Getting the blood test done is easy .
    Thanks for sharing your experience  BD.
    All the very best for your recovery mate.

    Jeezus mate , maybe I`m ignorant but why are there incisions up so high in stomach , my last blood test was a little up there 3.3 so my Doc made  a follow up Consult with the specialist next month . My Brother in law also had the op you had but unfortunately  it had spread so he has had Radiation treatment as well . nasty shit ! I wish you a speedy recovery

    Not sure why all the holes or were they should be, I can say I am glad I never woke up during the operation to see 6 big black rods moving around in my stomach. 
    Cheers for the kind words,
     I'm over the catheter

    There is a new technique now done by a machine called the Da Vinci. I had it for my kidney surgery.
