Please print the source of Mayo Clinic study Harley cited, PSA rises with BHP and age. Given naivete we all face at initial introduction to this challenge, this study goes to the very heart of what Mark Lichty has espoused at webinars for years, fear, trauma if you will. V.A. Oncologist at an annual Cancer Survivor Day last year stated he sees PTSD in patients. Armed with this study would help temper fear of further workup and "cushion" conversation with one's doctor, most of which unheard save, YOU HAVE GOT CANCER.
My introduction to Mayo Clinic's findings what's a normal PSA readings as we age. Thanks, Harley! Will use article to counter what friends "thought heard" while in a STUPOR as the doctor explained. Again, thanks for what this forum has come to mean to me, Howard.
Thanks for this. As a primary care provider I am tasked with having a conversation with men about the pros and cons of monitoring psa at different ages. I find that most men struggle to understand that there are different types of aggressive of cancers and that you don’t have to be “cured” if diagnosed. I will use this article to help explain some of the details.
Thanks fellow Fightin' Illini. I have two degrees from UI Urbana-Champaign. Also, I was a journalist-in-residence at UMich (Go Blue!) and am on faculty of Northwestern (Go Wildcats). I also lectured once a year at Harvard (Go Harvard Crimson!) on buisness ethics and medicine. I am working on an MPH now at UofI at Chicago,
Thanks great job of presenting articles of interest and importance to members of the cancer club. Harley's story was well written and an excellent reminder that we are in charge of our own health outcomes.
As I read Harley's article about his experience of being diagnosed with low-grade prostate cancer, I thought, "This guy is a great writer and should teach men about prostate cancer." Then I got to the bottom of the article, where it says he is a college professor. That explains it!

Harley's piece is very helpful. A practitioner said she was going to share the article with her patients,
