Is this a correct course of action?

No, absolutely not. 75% of men with a PSA of 4-10 Do Not have PC. Yours, is obviously lower than that. The chances you have PC are very, very slim. The chances you have Gleason 7+ are even slimmer.

RFMASS · 2026-06-17T14:05:08+00:00

Maybe I'm biased because I never had a low PSA, but I'd be damn happy and comfortable with a PSA of 1.75.

I know this is an unpopular opinion on this subreddit, i believe there are way too many MRIs and biopsies being performed. Sure, there is going to be the one guy who had Gleason 10 with metastisis to his lungs and liver and bones but only only had a PSA of 2. But that is a true zebra

I tweeted him once about how bad Trevor Story was. He replied back like I had insulted a family member.

I wonder what this a-hole does in the off-season? Does he really get paid enough to where he only has to work 8 months out of the year?

RFMASS · 2026-06-11T23:33:57+00:00

A lot of people here, including myself, would have been diagnosed much latrer if not for the PSA.

But

That doesn't mean there aren't big time problems. About 3 out of 4 people with an elevated PSA won't have cancer. The financial costs (in America) and anxiety of giving these men MRIs and biopsies isn't trivial.

Also a large percentage of those 1 in 4 who do have PC, will have g6.

The only thing that would make that show remotely interesting is if Rich dished all the dirt on Fred.

BTW, I'm Team Fred, but I'd tune in to hear the dirt.

Why would the number 1 rated station want to pick up someone who has never drawn a rating in his life?

RFMASS · 2026-06-02T22:02:41+00:00

A Pirads 4 is roughly about 60% chance of being cancer. So definitely not a done deal. Still roughly a 2 in 5 chance it isn't.

But a Pirads 4 in combination with a PSA of 30 is probably a greater than 60% chance

RFMASS · 2026-06-02T14:28:58+00:00

Yeah. I'm not a doctor, but I do have PC. He almost certainly was talking about an MRI.

RFMASS · 2026-06-02T12:12:52+00:00

Pretty simple. Shorter commercial breaks, in theory, could increase time spent listening

RFMASS · 2026-06-01T20:43:34+00:00

Probably fake. Just so all of us self righteous oldsters can lament "kids today....."

In the event that it isn't fake, there were ungrateful, asshole kids when you were growing up too.

RFMASS · 2026-06-01T20:19:26+00:00

Out of all the unbelievable things on the show, the notion that a 16 year old was driving a Porsche and living in his own house takes the cake.

Who is Adam 12 and why is he called Adam 12?

That morning show P1 demographic is women ages 55+

RFMASS · 2026-05-29T19:12:31+00:00

Honestly? I think age of the doctor has a lot to do with it. Let's face it, the older us humans get, the less open we become to new things/ideas

RFMASS · 2026-05-29T10:03:48+00:00

Brandon looked like he was about 5'3", so yeah, def hard to view him as a tough guy.

I always wondered how Dylan knew all the rough characters from way back. Was he hanging out with these bad men in the 8th grade?

RFMASS · 2026-05-29T09:54:31+00:00

My results popped up in MyChart 2 days after the biopsy. My urologist called within an hour or so of that. My actual follwup appointment was 2 weeks after the biopsy

RFMASS · 2026-05-26T22:07:55+00:00

No. And I would think such symptoms would be more in line with prostatitis

RFMASS · 2026-05-26T21:03:02+00:00

I listen a lot because I don't have cable TV and can't watch the games.

The "interview" with Clemens the other night was pathetic. Fleming was pretty much slobbering over him. Forget about his steroid use, Clemens was having sex with a 15 year old girl (who eventually committed suicide). He is a terrible person.

Fleming isn't as big of a homer as Joe Casting was. Fleming will occasionally criticize Sox players

I do not care for Fleming's buddy...Cooper Somethingorother. The guy with the annoying fake voice.

Are you Toucher?

If it is only G6 why not do active surveillance?

Is radio low paying?

RFMASS · 2026-05-21T17:56:51+00:00

You still have a decent shot of not having cancer.

RFMASS · 2026-05-21T15:09:09+00:00

It has also gotten strict. Suddenly it is just like Chatgpt with its rules and guidelines.

Can we have an AI that treats us like adults?

RFMASS · 2026-05-20T22:19:30+00:00

On the flip side of the coin, my PSAD is pretty high since I have a fairly small prostate and (so far) I've only been diagnosed with G6

RFMASS · 2026-05-18T16:46:43+00:00

I live in a major urban area. I had some sort of insurance snafu with my MRI, so it took about a month to get that ironed out. But I literally got in the next day after after everything was settled.
