Be proactive with your health..

I debated on sharing this but feel like it's to important not too. Thanks to years of being proactive with my health (especially after 50) I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December. It was caught very early and was just a small spot. My gleason score was 3+3 6 which means it was a slow growing cancer. Being relatively still young at 61 I decided to have the prostate gland removed last Thursday and be rid of the cancer with no need to do radiation.
As all of my friends on here grow older please take of yourself and be proactive. Do your colonoscopy and whatever other screens or biopsies your team of doctors may recommend.
I plan on watching my grankids for many more years. God bless

My grandpa died from colon cancer and my dad went through prostate cancer so get checked. I have already had a few polyps removed, one was precarious.

Glad to hear you caught it early Kevin. Thanks for sharing

My Grandfather also passed from colon cancer & it’s an often overlooked issue.
I haven’t been to the doctor in 11 years but think I’m a tad overdue.
I’m very glad you caught this early.

A good reminder, Kevin.
Did you have frequent psa testing? If so, did the psa test identify the presence of the cancer?
