Well today's my annual check up with my Urologist. My dad had prostate cancer so I get mine checked once a year. Not the most fun visit, needless to say. Everything usually checks out fine but I want to be proactive so off I go! 4951

Good for you.  My husband's father died of aggressive prostate cancer in his early 60's.  My husband's cancer was found during a routine prostate exam when he was 62.  Due to his regular exams it was caught early and after radiation treatment, he is cancer free and enjoying his life. The few moments of discomfort in that annual exam are worth every moment of healthy life gained through early detection! 4951

I hate going to the Urologist!  Not because of the prostate check, but because they are notoriously late on appointments.  I show up on time and the LEAST I've had to wait is two hours.  Just showing up two hours after my appointment time wouldn't work because they take people in the order they signed in.The first time I ever had my prostate checked, my doctor had a gorgeous female intern working with him.  So, when I dropped my pants and bent over, I got TWO probes.  At least her fingers were much thinner than the doc's.Debbie got her boobs squeezed a couple of weeks ago.  Well, that was her official annual female checkup.  I squeezed them (much more gently) last night. 4951

@coopedEmoticon  For those guys that want to go in through the back door, they should be willing to try it first.  Just sayin'.    "I will if you will, honey."  After all, fair is fair in love and bedroom wars, right?

@Retired_Engineer: If you ever want to switch, I can give you the name of a great Dr in Kingwood.  My PCP dropped the ball and didn't send my referral to them. Instead of cancelling, they got the referral themselves and had me in and out in less than 45minutes. The dr was very nice and told me all my options and did not judge when I went for the more wait and see approach.

@Chrisinkingwood:  That's a very good attitude to have.  That form of cancer is very treatable, but you do have to catch it before the advanced stages.  Gotta take care of manland, so manland will take care of you when you want.

@Chrisinkingwood: Good for you on being proactive!!  My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 3 years ago.  I remember going with him to all his radiation appointments.  6months later, he was cancer free and has been in remission ever since.Now, don't forget that colonoscopy!

Thanks for all the kind comments as well as the funny ones! It all went fine. Both my wife and I have used Dr. Ira Krause at Precision Urology in the past, he is on 1960 just west of Sam's and Walmart. He was on time and luckily I remembered not to relieve myself before leaving the house so I had something to put in the cup. He was pleased when reviewing my blood work although I really need to work at lowering my blood sugar. I feel sure it's the extra pounds I'm carrying, my diet is a pretty healthy one overall. Also my white blood cell count was above normal, he wondered if I might have been fighting a bug when I had them draw my blood but I don't think I was. Oh well. Luckily he is quick on the physical exam and his hands are not overly large! I see him again in 6 months for a review of the next blood work, otherwise the next physical exam is in a year. 4951

@cooped: Yep, got to do the hand count just to make sure.
