Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is most common in men that are over the age of 65. Nearly 250,000 men were diagnosed with this aggressive cancer type in 2020, and over 34,000 men lost their lives to it.
Screening for this aggressive cancer type is available, and there are adequate treatment options. The good news is that over 98% of those who get prostate cancer can still survive five years after their diagnosis. But what about detection and treatment?
A specialist can detect prostate cancer through a blood test that examines for specific antigens in your body. They can also check for prostate problems during your annual physical exam.
If you’re diagnosed with prostate cancer, your physician will discuss with you a treatment plan you can follow. There are also surgical options, radiation, and chemotherapy available.

Colon cancer preventable, eh? WITH INSURANCE, our quoted share for a screen was $1800 dollars! OUR SHARE WITH INSURANCE! We noticed that now it is required that it be done in a FACILITY (triggering a “facility chg”); anesthesia (anesthesia chg + anesthesiologist) and 1 other I can remember. These used to be done in a doc’s office. They gave u 1 pill to relax u, & u could watch the whole thing being done on the screen.
Inflated prices, unnecessary rules, & ppl with insurance paying for those without.
So how many of u are rushing out to pay for ur $1800 roto rooter check?
AI in the help to cure cancer. It looks like human life’s biggest problem and should be using AI immediately.
I was diagnosis with endometrial cancer and had the proverbial surgery (stage 3). All I was told was “we have a lot of work to do” – no explanation of what was or is – see me in 3 weeks (which I only got to see his nurse). I had to wait 5-6 week before I could get an answer if this was fatal or not. SO NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE ON TV OR READ. I had to do my own research on treatments/cancer/etc. there was no compassion, etc. The medical end of this diagnosis sucks. You are on your own. Was even told KEYTO was part of the treatment because the “advertisement says so”. What a way to go.
