I would not take that doctor’s opinion seriously. It verges on malpractice to discourage a man from at least getting the finger wave.
The psa (blood) test isn’t a very accurate screen for cancer. I’ve had high psa numbers for years and had numerous biopsies as a result. No cancer.
The recommendations for screening have evolved over the 20 years I’ve had screening done, from blood test only, to finger wave only, to blood test and finger wave and a biopsy if any of the screenings indicated a problem. Now I get an annual finger up the behind and the doc will send me for an mri if he feels something concerning.
If you think the finger is bad, try a biopsy.
