Damn Byron so sorry to hear that !

But I agree 100 % with what you said we ( men ) need to take this seriously ! Yes the prep is a bother but if caught early the cancer can be treated . And for most of us the results will be good and you have a baseline for when the next needs to be done .
I'm officially retired on 12/1 and I wanted to get this done while still on the company insurance . Well apparently Aetna doesn't think every 5 years is needed

so I had to pay more out of pocket than I was expecting . But it's not Aetna's health I'm worried about !!!
I'm a firm believer that there are two tests/procedures we as men need to pay attention to and that's prostate and colon . In 2015 I was found to have prostate cancer , it was diagnosed very early and taken care of . I may have lived with it for another 25 years or it could have killed me in two you have no way of knowing . You feeling lucky
Don't put the tests off guys.......... end of public service announcement
