I find that the amount of peeing I do is proportional to the amount of beer I drink.After about ten or eleven pints I,m absolutely bursting.Excuse me a moment," mines a pint, and get one for yourself."

Rocdoc is right about PSA. I had mine done in Jan. and it was borderline high. A biopsy showed I had Prostate cancer. The surgery was not difficult as the doc used microscopic procedure that was also robotic. In on Friday and home on Saturday. The hardest part about the whole thing was a cathiter for Ten days. With two active dogs around you really watch where they are going. Last blood check showed I am good to go and no real problems.

Get that PSA done on a regular basis.

My PSA was high 2 or 3 times in a row. Family doc finally said, "You should probably have a biopsy." I did. Urologist said this won't hurt much--like being snapped with a rubber band. Yeah . . . except about the time you get snapped the 5th or 6th time, you may want to whack the urologist up side the head! Anyhow, mine was negative, and the urologist said the high PSA was likely due to calcium deposits, which he spotted on the ultrasound they did before the biopsy procedure.

Had a stendt put in 3 years ago at 51 years old and have been taking lipitor and plavix since..the doc said I had one artery that was 95% blocked so while he was in there he checked the rest and said they all looked fine.....Since then Iv lost 35 lbs but still weigh 250 at 6' 1"...going to see my cardiologist on the 18th for my yearly check up....
