Carter Redux - Or It's The Crappy 1970's Return

[The Hen]

Aging. The sad joke we all go through. Once we have the wisdom of our years, we are unable to do what we should have in the first place.

Youth is wasted on the young.

Thanks, getting old sucks.
The doc says I have a 28% chance of having prostate cancer according to my health profile. Better we find out sooner rather than later. PRevious PSA tests have been similar (around 3.5, only this year have they gone up. Two tests were in the 5+ range and 1 was 3.8 so he wants to do the byopsi to make a better diagnosis.

PSA testing is being abandoned as uselessly inaccurate in many areas.

my blood pressures been a little high

Well oldr, you're a middle aged man looking for a job, who's putting a kid through college, has been told by his doctor he's got better than a one in four chance of getting colon cancer, and has just given up drinking and smoking simultaneously....

I don't think one needs to be Gregory House to figure out why your blood pressure might be running high....

My friend, I can't think of anyone I know who's more entitled to some high blood pressure than you are...

Good luck.

Then having a biopsy is a surer thing to tell if anything is wrong.

Thanks
I also deserve a drink or two but will decline those.
