I don't care about the book.
My father died of prostate cancer.
I got my first PSA at sixty eight. It was 10.4.
It was suggested that I get a biopsy. I got one.
It showed cancer, and I opted for radiation.
So now, we'll see. I have more radical options available.

Thanks to the PSA, my cancer was caught before my father's cancer was.
Don't spout crap from a book that you read by the guy that discovered
PSA. I wouldn't even know I had prostate cancer without a PSA, thanks
to him.
I think you missed the truth and bought his politics, true as they
might be. I appreciate what he discovered. Don't be dumb enough to
never get a PSA or act upon it if diagnosed. I may even agree with him
in general if I read the book. Specifically, I'd say "Thank You!"

[Ob:Food] We are getting sick of turkey, so we had pork chops, turkey
dressing and gravy, canned corn and cranberry sauce tonight. It's
surprisingly good.
