L'homme est en train de se faire pulvériser la #prostate au laser.
T'as compris pourquoi mon #cancer s'est mis en sommeil ? C'est parce-que c'est à mon tour de chouchouter l'homme.

Je vais préparer des lasagnes pour son retour. Et le lendemain il aura des endives au jambon et ensuite un soufflet aux courgettes (exceptionnel, c'est pas la saison), je devrais en trouver en grande surface, y en a pas à la ferme.

I'm not what you might call in prime condition, I'm 68 years old & I have #HealthIssues. I am a #HeartAttack and #TripleBypass Surgery survivor back in 2018, left with a #HeartCondition.

I have #ChronicKidneyDisease coupled with a troublesome #Prostate that interferes with my #Bladder meaning I have a permanent #Catheter.
My #BloodPressure can get a little out of whack, I can also fall into #Anxiety or #Depression but not like I used to. Finally I have #Arthritis at the base of my Spine.

PSA isn't approved for good reason as a routine screening test in the British Health Service - although men over 50 can request their doctor to do one (most doctors would only do one alongside (before) a rectal examination).

It's an excellent test for monitoring the progression of known prostate cancer and its treatment, but it can be raised in a huge number of other non-cancer situations. It is not a diagnostic test.
The gold standard test is still a digital rectal examination by someone who's been trained to spot the signs of cancer. This can be followed up with an MRI if there's any suspicious findings.

Sorry, but I fear that the use of PSA as a screening tool is a way of making money in a profit driven healthcare system.

Lads, lads!

("lads" being "people born with & still having a prostate" regardless of current identification)

I'm about to have my 5th round of chemotherapy for advanced metstatic prostate cancer. A close friend has had surgery to remove theirs today, and another friend in the USA had theirs removed on Thursday.

If you are 50+, then FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER DEITY YOU DO OR DON'T HAVE please get a PSA test.

Save yourself being in our position.

It's been a while since my previous instance got shafted by spammers and started being defederated & blocked, and then the one I was going to move to also took a nosedive in uptime terms.

So here I am again.

I still have advanced #metastatic #prostate #cancer but since then it transpires that #SirChrisHoy has selfishly announced that he, too, has the same one except his is slightly more advanced than mine, because of course it is (this is of course ever so slightly light-hearted).

Traveler and TV travel guide #Rick #Steves announced on Wednesday that he has cancer.

In a social media post, Steves said that he has been diagnosed with #prostate #cancer and plans to have prostate surgery in late September.

“There is a clear path forward to getting healthy,” Steves said, adding:
“I have great trust in my doctor and in Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. And I have lots more to be thankful for … including the support of friends and loved ones and a strong faith that I’m in good hands.”

Until the surgery, Steves said that his doctor has approved him traveling to France to film for his travel TV show for the next few weeks.

Growing up listening to right wing hate radio, it was always #gold scams, miracle herbs, #prostate pills, #survival seeds and food kits.

Now it is #medbeds with #alien technology and #Trump is going to open U.S. military bases - of course where the really good medbeds are - to patriots.

Remember #Rwanda - where radio stoked the genocide. Acquire #guns, prepare home and neighborhood defense.
