Every 2 years preferably. I ask GP for PSA blood test and the "DRE" exam which is only mildly uncomfortable for those that may be scared - it's nothing compared to being too late and is more accurate than the PSA test.
15 years ago the docs didnt want to test but now they do.

Yep, I lost my father to advanced prostate cancer last year.
He didn't go to the docs early enough or have regular checks.
We had him for 3 years from diagnosis to death, I wouldn't wish anyone's family having to go through what we did.
You know the saying, one up bum no harm done

Been for my yearly "Well Man" test results at the doc's this morning.
Blood and Urine samples have retuned normal, Blood pressure is normal, and PSA levels are fine.
Had a once only Pneumonia jab to finish with.
Then the bloody nurse went a spoiled it, by checking my weight and informing me that i'm obese
I'm 6ft and 16 stone for goodness sake.....that is NOT obese.

Nurse told me I was obese. I said I wanted a second opinion. She said "OK you're ugly too"
