Guys, get a PSA test.

Rick Steves Recalls ‘Feeling So Good’ Before Surprising Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
https://www.today.com/health/disease/rick-steves-p...

"The travel writer and host of 'Rick Steves Europe' shares an update after prostate cancer diagnosis to encourage men to 'say the word(s) prostate cancer.'"

Looks like Rick caught it early. My step-mom's brother diagnosed recently. Age 75, stage 4, in the bones.

Get the annual check. As undignified as it is. The PSA is just a blood test which they can throw in with the routine panels for your annual check-up.

As I understand it, PC has very few symptoms until it's too late. "Feeling good" isn't really an accurate gauge.

1poorMIL has kidney cancer. But it's slow-moving, so they don't want to do anything. They just monitor it. They expect she will expire before it becomes a problem. She feels fine, at least as far as her kidneys are concerned. They only caught it by chance.
