If It Wasn't For Insurance ...

Well, it's been six months since my last follow-up. I've had no urinary issues at all. The plumbing is all working fine. All those things the urologist asks you about, good stream, good control, no issues with starting or stopping, etc. are great. PSA is 0.001! They apparently took all of my prostate and with it ALL of the cancer.

We will check again in six months. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. There is no worry about a recurrence, metastatic cancer or as a bonus no future BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia). I am not going to have a need for Avodart or Flomax. I won't have a need for any of those uncomfortable prostate procedures. I have met some very skilled people who are a pleasure to talk with.

If you wonder why you have any issues with your insurance, remember they view themselves as financial companies. And we all know how well they are run. Get your checkups! It isn't embarrassing; it is science! And it's good for you! Contact me if you have any questions or just want to share your woes.
