Like I said, I get mine tested twice yearly, and it's as low as one could hope for. My last two tests were 0.48 and 0.42. I did have a bit of a scare last October when my urologist found a lump there, but apparently, it's not anything I need to worry about at this point.chasfm11 wrote:To underscore the reason for testing, I have a good friend who has is an avid hunter and has had his CHL for years. He felt healthy so he didn't go to the doctor...for 30 years. By the time he had symptoms, his PSA was 2,400. The cancer has spread to his bones. Chemo didn't work. They originally gave him 5 years to live. That was 2 years ago.
PSA testing isn't perfect but is way better than the alternatives.

Re: It's a guy thing - prevent prostate cancer
I get screened twice yearly as part of my ongoing treatment for BPH.
