For my urologist appointment tomorrow I'm bringing this chart:

I wonder what the good doc will say (my previous urologist closed his practice, so I'll be meeting the new one for the first time). My dad is a prostate cancer survivor which increases my risk for the disease. I'm 55; my dad was 62 at the time of his diagnosis. I'm hoping nutritional adjustments might defer this ailment, but it feels like my remaining years of sexual health have a sword of Damocles suspended above them.

my dad. not the most flattering picture of him if you ask me, but the man does know his stuff.

It's not an unflattering pic. I'm guessing he looks his age, but that eventually happens to most of us.

I just saw the guy a couple of weeks ago. he's not that pudgy in real life and his hair and beard usually look neater and better trimmed.
