Prostate Cancer

I've been getting tested every year for a long time. We used to get the test for free where I worked as part of our yearly physical. I never gave it much thought until one year I got a prostate infection and my numbers went from the low of .06 to 5.7! I had no signs of anything wrong either. I was worried for sure but it turned out to be just an infection and antibiotics took care of it and my numbers came back down to the .06 to 1.0 range and have stayed there. I never let a year go by without geting checked. I've had to many friends that have had the cancer surgery and a few of them didn't last to long afterwards because they waited to long before getting checked and then it was to late. So yes...it only makes good sense to have a annual checkup.
