jfost11 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I know someone who got that in a drive through testing location. He said he's glad he had the sense to put the car in park first since they gave him no warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's the difference between getting it when your 20 and getting it when you're old enough to know what an hour long prostate exam might be like.

DrB Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Good luck with everything. I go tomorrow for another covid test. We have to get them once a month for work. Even though I am off om medical because of my hip surgery I have to go get, as I may have to drop in to work. Plus as a bonus, I had to get another one before I got my surgery for the hospital.

I don't know if this is good news or bad news to you "young guys" out there. But, there comes a point in your age where they don't even bother with them anymore. Of course, you can insist on one....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the ages of 19, 20 and 21 for summer jobs at Toyota. Part of the physical. None since (knocking on 50). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I was found to have Postate cancer a few years after I retired. My daughter’s best friend is a pathologist who said most of the Postate cancers she sees were unknown until the autopsy. Mine seems stable after several years so I’ve not worried much about it lately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want any kind of Big C but prostate seems to be on the opposite end of the spectrum as things like Pancreatic in most cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Doctor's office one visit my wife was complaining of a problem. The Doctor checked her and said she appeared to be OK. I said, maybe it's her Prostrate, the Doctor looked at me and said, She doesn't have a Prostrate! I said yes, but she doesn't know that! He doesn't appreciate my humor. My wife just tolerates me. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
