Yeah, it's getting to be that time for some of us.
I'm going in for a prostate biopsy in a couple weeks. Better than 50/50 odds it will be prostate cancer. I'm researching state-of-the-art treatments now.
What was the prognosis? You’re still posting! :)
Thanks for asking. The biopsy was negative. The follow-up test of PSA was back to 3.4... lowest it's been in five years. Previously, it jumped from 4 to 14 in two months so that was the start of the scare. I don't know why it was so high in December and then so low in February. It had been in the low 4.x for several years.
On a whim, I asked for a testosterone check as well. I was 635. That's 200 points higher than it was several years ago. The difference, I think, was adding extreme HIIT weightlifting to my routine.
