More About Me

I HAVE NOTICED OTHERS INCLUDING FAMILY ARE DISTANT. IT IS SO VERY SAD THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT WHEN CANCER IS MENTIONED. IT IS ALMOST LIKE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID CANCER IS CONTAGIOUS. I HEARD BACK IN THE DAY WHEN CANCER OR (THE "C" WORD) MENTIONED PEOPLE WOULD SORT OF DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR LIFE. I DID NOT KNOW IN 2021, STILL HAPPENING. SO WRONG

I Do not want to leave my wife of 45 years. I WANT OTHER MALES NOT TO RELY ON BLOOD TEST ONLY FOR PROSTATE MARKER TO DETERMINE CANCER OF PROSTATE. BLOOD TEST CALLED PSA. MY PSA WAS IN RANGE FOREVER. BUT HAD I KNOWN OF DIGITAL RECTUM EXAM WHICH WOULD BE MORE ACCURATE, I WOULD NOT BE WITH PROSTATE INCURABLE, AGGRESSIVE, END STAGE PROSTATE CANCER. I WANT MALES TO DEMAND DIGITAL RECTUM EXAM (ALSO KNOWN AS DRE). CUZ DOCTORS ARE NOT GOING TO INITIATE THE DRE EXAM OR REFER TO A UROLOGY SPECIALIST. 1% NORMAL PSA CAN HAVE METASTATIC PROSTATE CANCER AS I DO. DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE WITH BLOOD PSA ONLY. DO THE DRE EXAM

DO NOT PUT ALL YOUR TRUST IN A PHYSICIAN. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT SOMETHING. CONTACT THE SPECIALIST WITH THE PROBLEM YOU ARE HAVING AND BE VERY PRO ACTIVE IN YOUR MEDICAL CARE AND DECISIONS. MEDICAL CARE IS TOO MUCH COMPUTERIZED AND BETWEEN DOCUMENTATION/TREATING THE COMPUTER, PATIENTS ARE OVERLOOKED. MEDICAL CARE IS TOO REGIMENTED TOWARDS DOCUMENTATION AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO MULTI TASK AND REALIZE THAT A HUMAN BEING NEEDS CARE. SOME HOW MEDICAL CARE HAS BEEN LOST IN PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SO I HOPE OTHERS CAN BE PROACTIVE IN CARE AND IF NEED HELP, BRING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU. OTHERWISE BETWEEN NURSE PRACTICIONERS, PA AND SEE A MEDICAL DOCTOR, CAN NO LONGER DEPEND SOLELY IN THE TRUST OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS ALONE. IT ISNT INTENTIONAL, IT IS JUST THE WAY IT TURNED OUT.
