A Path Forward, and a Plan.
Prostate Basics starts today, and this is the thing I keep coming back to while I write it.
I read a thread in September that I have not been able to put down. A woman wrote it about her husband, who is 55. He had a blood test. Then a scan. Then a letter arrived telling him the date of his biopsy. Nobody had given him the result of the blood test or the scan. The date was the first piece of information he was handed about his own body.
Another man in the same thread said the same thing had happened to him. His words: "I did not get any feedback on my MRI, I was just told they wanted a biopsy so I was having one." His biopsy found no cancer.
Sixteen years ago I would not have known that was odd. A friend told me in an airport that the problem I did not know I had was my prostate. I had no idea. I looked into it, made some small changes, got my PSA checked, and that was about it for years. There was almost nothing to read back then.
What I know now is that the thing a man wants is not comfort. He wants a number and a clear path forward. Comfort fades on the drive home. A number he has read himself stays put. A plan tells him what to do with it.
So here is my question for you this week, and I would like real answers, not polite ones.
When you had a prostate test, did anyone give you the actual result and a forward plan? Or did you get "it is fine" and nothing else?

Prostate awareness for men and women. The prostate does not belong in the shadows with no understanding. Awareness is the key. Prostate cancer, - BPH.
