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.

I like my new urologist, Dr. Ivan Grunberger. He said that were I a decade older my PSA level would not be noteworthy, but at my age it warrants a biopsy, which he will perform in his office guided by ultrasound in two weeks.

sounds like the man's on top of his game. Thats definitely in line with best medical practices. Looks like you found yourself a winner. I think its important that one be able to repose complete confidence in anyone who is going to be placed in charge of that aspect of a man's well being, dont you?
