Go to a doctor. Get yourself checked.
Prostate cancer kills and youβre high risk.
Great, I'll just add that to the list of other potentially lethal conditions I've been avoiding the doctor about.
Oh. American huh?
Yeah, I got a bankruptcy amount of issues to see the doc about. Trying to put it off until I am out of debt (so I can accrue fresh debt).
What makes you worry about prostate cancer for op, in his post(s)? Curious to see the worrying clues...
Happened to my father in law and two years later he was dead. If I had just gone at the first sign, instead he waited a year. It's better to be safe than sorry.
History of frequent urination, enlarged prostate and unusual ejaculation. Likely higher risk age as well but not confirmed.
