For all the men out there
Menfolk: Get your prostate exams. Yes, you'll have to tolerate someone's finger up your butt for a few seconds but it's also the difference between life and death.
I know someone who had this done and the doctor asked them to return a few months later due to questionable results. Sure enough, it was a very fast-spreading tumor and his prognosis is very good with targeted radiation treatment. The surgery option is a last resort since it can permanently damage the prostate and cause lifetime problems. Also, if you've already been diagnosed with this cancer, check out Dr. Patrick Walsh's book (Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer) to find out what to expect throughout: http://www.amazon.com/Patrick-Walshs-Surviving-Prostate-Cancer/dp/1455504181/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390922447&sr=8-1&keywords=Prostate+cancer
Now, go hug the men in your life will ya?
