Knowing that there are a lot of baby boomers on this site, I want to suggest that you guys get a regular PSA test even though it it poo-pooed by a lot of physicians. Mine went from 3 to 7 to 9 over 6 months in the summer of 2012. Had biopsies in the fall, had radical prostectomy in January '13. Informed by the doctor that cancer had broken out of capsule. PSA started to climb in the summer of '14, completed 38 sessions of radiation therapy last October. Also going through hormone treatments every 4 months for 2 years. Side effects are not much fun but hopefully worthwhile. Get that checkup. Jim
