Yep about 15 years ago when i live in CA my PSA (a notoriously inaccurate blood test) shot up to 14 from a normal 2. They told me i needed a prostate biopsy, which was a pain in the ass, literally!
Came back positive for cancer, My Dr said if i do nothing i had probably 10 years to live! I went to see a Urologist who told me i should have my prostate removed even though the Gleeson score was very low. Like most guys i procrastinated for years and then had another biopsy test in Maine, they found nothing, all negative. Then two years ago had a 2 Tesla MRI which is supposed to be the latest and greatest, results all negative. Had i followed the Urologist recommendation i would have had the operation and possibly suffered the side effects of leakage and loss of errection all for nothing.
15 Years later im fine.
