Okay if you heard the show yesterday you know I'm with The United States Preventive Services Task Force and am essentially abandoning PSA as a screening tool for prostate cancer in healthy men. I'm not going to get it done myself and will not recommend it to my healthy patients. If they want a second opinion I'll refer them on. No sweat, no worries.
Each and everyone of us should decide personally if it's still wise to get this test. If you do decide to get it remember you may be putting yourself at risk for aggressive unnecessary treatment for a cancer that may never really affect your health. Anyhow, for all the details listen to yesterday's show.
As always, before you make a final decision discuss it with your health care provider.
