Prostate test

[SeRpEnT]

Of course, not everyone gets it, I'm being a bit melodramatic, sorry.

But it is very common.

Pretty much most men get it. It's just not very high levels for most.
When my oupa passed away many years ago (heart related) the doctor told us afterwards he also had signs of low level prostate cancer but apparently most 80+ patients do have some levels of this at that age. Not always dangerous though.

Perfect time to start checking especially if it’s in your family.

I don't have it in the family as far as I know, but I also have a very small family. I was just always told 40 is when you need to start. Discovery also keeps reminding me to go.
