I get my PSA done annually EZ PZ. Don't forget skin and colon cancers, two other detectable killers. A simple skin exam can save a life. Consider ColoGuard vs colonoscopy. Not as 100% reliable but much easier than fasting and pooping your brains out for a day.

Here is a truth, that Jeff will save at least one rider's life with this PSA. No joke. Get a regular blood test with PSA and make it an annual habit. Plus you get a finger up your yoohaa. Ha! Happy Riding!

Im 74 years old Jeff. Live in Idaho. 2 years ago I could ride my dirt bike (Husky TE300 and Beta 300 Race) for 60 to 80 miles of technical mountain trails in a day. Since I developed stage 3 kidney disease last year now I can ride 20 to 30 miles of trail in a day, if I am lucky. Still go in every 3 months for lab tests to get checked for everything possible. Kidney function runs about 32% now. What you say is true about cancer. I've lost by dad and many friends due to cancer. It never really does go away. No true cure for it.

Sadly I have worked with a number of guys over the years who refuse to get colonoscopies because they thought it somehow was going to compromise their manhood. One passed from colon cancer in his 50's. It's not a big deal folks.

Reposting this here as this was my reply to another post that may not be noticed, and I feel this is very important for more to read. My prostate biopsy about a month ago was NOT bad whatsoever. In fact, of the 13 samples that were taken, most were barely noticeable, only a few of them caused me to flinch from what I’d describe as a quick poke/stab discomfort bit of low pain that I felt only a second or two (for each of the few that were of anything worth mentioning or complaining about). Note that the biopsy procedure was ordered after an irregular MRI which was ordered after discovering high PSA from blood work during an annual physical at age of 58. I’ve since received the results confirming prostate cancer. Just earlier today met with an urology oncologist surgeon as he talked with my wife and me explaining everything along with what treatment options he recommended. Fortunately mine is grade 2 and so isn’t totally devastating. Of course this sucks to be having to learn and deal with the side effects of the various treatment options, but I’m glad this was caught early enough to take action now rather than not getting checked and not knowing until it would be too late (considering if left untreated it could end up metastasizing and if that happens, that’s when more often it’s way too late to do much of anything to prevent life being taken much sooner from the cancer spreading). Thank you Jeff, truly a great message and call out to all of us. Great to hear you’re recovering and on the mend. ALL, it’s really just some small inconveniences and time spent during an MRI and the biopsy procedure, those weren’t bad at all. Don’t ignore or pretend it’ll not happen with you. I guess I’ve figured cancer happens to so many but I never thought I’d get it. Well, I did get it, and still thinking why, but now working out the plan of how best to treat and live on. Get tested regularly!!!

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last fall. I was very fortunate as in they caught it very early. Right now I am in active surveillance and not undergoing any treatment. Sadly I know several people who have passed from either colon cancer or bladder cancer recently. Honestly anyone who is not getting a colonoscopy and blood work after age 50 is a fool. I know it sounds harsh but it's absolutely insane not to do this. Hell it's free under many insurance policies.

Awesome job Jeff. All the best to you and your wife. Blessings to you. Ride well and ride long. I am a Paramedic. Colon and prostate CA are so easy to find. Get checked regularly. I had a lump on my leg after MOAB 24 days. Got home and it festered and I thought it was a spider bite. Got it tested and shit is was skin CA. I get checked every year. It showed up anyway. Get checked everyone for the easy stuff to get fixed early! Fuc$ Cancer!

Good topic to raise awareness on and pleased to hear that you were diagnosed early. I lost my dad to prostate cancer as he wasn't diagnosed with it until very late. As you said, it's a good idea to have regular PSA blood tests to catch it early, when it's more easily treatable.

I was a 3 on the Gleason scale. Hopefully isn’t worse this time. . It sounds like we’re in the same boat.

Just turned 35 and been dealing with the same thing for the last two months. Do yourself a favor and get checked out by a urologist to rule out the obvious stuff. If they can’t find anything, look into Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) treatment (it’s mostly physical therapy and mental based). Check out the books “Headache in the Pelvis” and “Pelvic Pain: The Ultimate Cockblock.” There’s so much research into this issue for women but us dudes get hosed and 95% of Prostatitis diagnosis are really CPPS.
