With the diagnosis of Former President Joseph Biden with prostate cancer, it brings up a tendency by some doctors to say you don't need a PSA test if you are over a certain age. Their reasoning is that even if you are diagnosed with that or something similar beyond a certain age (80 is often quoted) you'll probably die of something else. Similarly, women are sometimes told not to bother with certain tests for the same nonsense!
In fact, I know of both men and women who are diagnosed with ailments in their 80's, who were successfully treated, when their problem was caught early, and lived into their 90's or beyond!
Pards, get your PSA annually, no matter what age you are! Ladies get your GYN tests annually, as well as mammograms! If your doctor demurse...FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR!
