@annecavicchi@mindly.social Very sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis, I know from experience how overwhelming it all is. :( I concur about regular testing. I was fortunate my GP raised getting tested when I was 50 rather then the recommended 55. She went through the issues with early testing (false positives, etc) and I decided to get my PSA checked anyways. Seven months later I was in surgery having my rebellious prostate removed. I definitely recommend anyone with a prostate seriously consider getting tested at 50 (or earlier if you're in high risk group). I also recommend anyone with a prostate get educated about prostate cancer as if you have one and live long enough it's almost guaranteed you will get prostate cancer eventually.
