Solid advice. Good to hear you are in the clear.
If one is to put some misplaced sense of pride or manliness above fairly basic prophylactic medical care, they deserve what they get.

Likewise for colonoscopies. I've been gettin' them since I was 40 due to family history of colon cancer. But as Steve says, if one is to put misplaced pride manliness, or not wanting to go through the prep. It's on your head, and no one else's.

My hope is that if anyone has neglected this test or feels, as I did once upon a time, that it is not all that important, they will reconsider. I always figured that prostate cancer was so slow in coming on that you would probably die of old age alone if you had it. That was what I had heard. But, when my brother-in-law got it, it was a shock.

I've been getting tested for both since 40. So far so good but every year for prostate and every ten for colon. Actually was told the next colonoscopy will five years so obviously he saw something that he wants to see again sooner then later. Get tested. The only way to be sure.

No one in my family has ever died of any form of cancer but they're all dead anyway.
