Her oldest brother got checked immediately and found out he had prostate cancer as well. He had his prostate removed. Their father had a slow growing form of it and died age 98 but died due to old age.

Hey Guy!
My last PSA test result was a 0.4 last February and will get that checked again next month. Interestingly enough I had an emergency abdominal MRI and CT scan done last February as a suspicious lesion was found on my liver on Ultrasound. This turned out to be a benign Hemangioma....had me freaked out for sure at the time though! So the interesting part is that they "scanned" my entire abdomen and pelvis as well "while they were in there"...all normal from my lower chest, the prostate, right down to the old $hitter! Was happy to hear that!
Oh BTW guys the MRI and CT scan were performed within 4 days of the request! This is in Calgary, Alberta....the Canadian or at least the Alberta health care "system" I was extremely impressed with!
