please go into it....we men need to know this stuff...the doctors hate to tell us anything because they all think we will sue them....
No problem. First off was the PSA blood test. Mine tested NORMAL. 20% of men with advanced stages of prostate cancer test normal on the PSA blood test. So please do not trust that alone. Next came the digital exam. Not pleasant at all for my virgin ass. He felt the tumor right away. I came back for 2 tests. First was the camera scope through the eye of the penis to check the kidneys, very, very unpleasant. Then they run this big probe, around 1" around into your ass. Needles come out and stick the prostate and administer a deadner into the prostate. Then out of the same probe these little claws come out and pull away samples of your prostate. I had 8 samples removed and every one of them contained cancer. I can tell you that it hurts like hell when that probe goes in, really hurts when those needles stick you multiple times, and it does not deaden it because it was terrible pain each time a sample was pulled away. I remember looking at my wife and she was crying because she could see the pain and the effect these tests were having on me.
Results of the test was my prostate was saturated with cancer. Please take one thing away from this. Do not trust the PSA test alone, get the digital exam. If my urologist wouldn't have done that then I would not be here.
