Not to be a fear monger and this goes for anyone and everyone. Everytime I hear a doc's response like this I think of a co-worker I had several years ago. At the time she was 29 and had a lump in her breast so she went to her GP to have it checked out. "You're too young for breast cancer. Don't worry about it," she was told. No exam or followup. She took her doc's advice.

A year later it became painful and she went to a clinic. They did run tests. She heard back from them the following day. It was a malignant tumour and further tests showed it had spread. She died a couple years ago in her early thirties.

You're never too young for anything - low risk does not mean no risk and a good doctor should not be telling you otherwise.

Thanks Nitrox. I have an appointment next week. And it's because of stories like this that I became really concerned and motivated to get this matter looked into further. I'll post updates as I get them.

I was very unhappy when I turned 25. But as the years keep creeping along, 35 didn't bother me and now 38 doesn't either. To me it's just a number.

It's the numbers that accompany it that are of concern (cholesterol, blood pressure, testosterone, thyroid hormones etc.).

My numbers are the same as when I was 25 so I guess I have nothing to complain about, except possibly that I have more grey hair.

I go see the Dr this week. The whole Prostate thing makes me uncomfortable but I know it needs to be done. I'm getting bloodwork and the whole deal I think. My wife usually makes all my appointments after she has had enough of dealing with my complaining, but lab work isn't nothing more than a prescription to go somewhere else anyways so that shouldn't be a problem.

I will say, the flomax the urologist gave me is " wicked" awesome. It feels like it freed up my entire midsection. I've lived 35 years and have never felt this loose down there. Just in case someone was contemplating it ... or not.

I figure by the end of next week I should know how much longer I have left or that I'm fine. I'm hoping for the latter but too many stories of other peoples relatives and friends have kinda got me scared $#*@less. At least scared enough to have it checked.

Stay tuned...

Update anyone?

Prostate checked out OK. My Dr. wondered why the urologist gave me meds for an enlarged prostate and wouldn't check it, so she did. The flomax is working great, and no more issues have surfaced. Scheduled lab work and changed my BP med and scheduled a follow-up for next month. Heart rate has been hi so she ordered a thyroid test as well.

I've been feeling great and working out so hopefully I can get a clean bill of health soon and I can take care of some of the nagging injuries that are more performance limiting than anything. Hope I don't have to go through this every year.

He calls me with detailed information. The part about him performing a self prostate exame was a bit much though. At least he could of hung up the phone before starting that's for damn sure. I've never heard so much screaming that wasn't associated with pain in all my life.

Have your prostate checked...better safe than sorry...you may not remember Frank Zappa...he had problems urinating...doc's didn't do due diligence...Frank died of prostate cancer...have them check it...a finger up the butt is certainly better than the alternatives...
