Why not a PSA Test?


PSA discovered mine. The finger test did not reveal anything - but
the biopsy did. I had no symptoms. It was caught early due to me just
asking for a PSA Test after talking to a friend who had been through
the problem. I believe all men should have the PSA test every year.
Ask your GP. Don't wait for symtoms.


Google it. The *current* view is that it used to lead to unneccessary
surgery leading to little or no net benefit.


It's not just that, the unnecessary surgery is very likely to cause
impotence and incontinence.


That's what I mean by *net* benefit
