If you have problems peeing - get tested! Don't think your condition will just go away.
 It's not always cancer, but you need to know early. 
 After getting a series of high PSA readings at the age of 60(ish), going through several digital exams (ooh, Matron!), too many blood tests to count, three biopsies, (not too bad actually), three or four camera exams (fascinating) and two MRI's,(boring and deafening) I'm lucky enough to only have benign prostate enlargement - but I know if it was cancer I will well cared for and usually you die with it, not from it.
 I'm currently on Finasteride/Tamsulosin treatment and it's helping for now. I had an operation, (Rezum), a few years ago to help reduce the prostate but I'll probably need another, (HOLEP), in the future. I try to be an ambassador for my friends and colleagues who are worried/embarrassed about getting treatment as it can be a worrying process - so if anyone is worried I can honestly say, it's not a real problem getting tested and, if needed, treatment. 
 It's important to get looked at as, if the numbers are high, you will have options. Ignore your condition, and the options go away.
 Believe me, the NHS has some pretty amazing and caring people ready to help you. 

Last September I was playing football with my grandson,and hurt my knee. I didn’t bother the doctors because the knee gradually returned to near normal, but still quite painful at times. It was such a time I winced, and my wife “advised “ me to see the doctor,which I duly attended, knee examination, all OK, I asked for a PSA (having seen the information at Pride Park) check which he duly gave me the paperwork. The test came back 7.1, I’m over 70 so 6.5 is regarded as normal. I was dispatched to the Derby Royal, had the anal examination, ( for the first time) small lump found. In five weeks I’ve had a MRI scan,my prostrate biopsy done, and a QT scan,and I’m now on a hormone treatment plan. It appears they’ve caught the tumour early, and the prognosis is good, they say it will be eliminated. You do lose your dignity at times, but not going through that door and having the exam you could lose a lot more.
A shout out to the doctors and nurses at the Derby Royal, they have been absolutely terrific, informative, and very understanding, and caring.
 

Agree completely 

Korey Smith. Little bit reminds me of Eustace(however Eustace clearly miles ahead). Reliable, versatile, nothing special but good at holding things together.
 
Great memories of Eustace! Pity we didn't get him a year or two earlier.

While i totally agree mate, Its football it happens.. annoyingly 

We’re doing very well with the hand weve been dealt.
for me this season and next has always been about getting through the transfer ban and restrictions that we’re always going to hamstring us. 
 
as a club i cant honestly remember when we had a manager who was able to operate normally in a transfer window… cocu was it?
there will be better days ahead… i know that. Weve just got to get behind DC and PW and give them our all.

Sad to see.

Warne fell into that classic football trap of not signing Chris Martin in January, and is now reaping what he sowed.
