Well my Personal Doc wasn't happy to see me driving,
short version is stay on the meds and see you next week.
Both docs are not happy the doc that did the cancer surgery never put me on thinners. Since blood clots are a common problem with my type of cancer.

Just passing on info in the hopes that if others go down this road they know what questions to ask.
It's a common cancer amount men. Most don't like to talk about it.

My Dad had prostate surgery... they did surgert then some focused zapping stuff. Never had a problem... They never said if that had anything to do with the lung and bone cancer that did him in. But yeah.. staying aware of your PSA levels is important for old guys.

Yes it is. Old and young actually.
They did some zapping on me also. I had both the slow growing and the aggressive type.
Slow growing at my age wasn't a problem they figure I would die of something else first. The aggressive is the problem one. One of my Brother in laws had the aggressive and waited to long, he kept ignoring the numbers. He died a very painful death.
