He's had one at 40. And now at 45. That's all I know.
But this email is not about Christian.?
Or Ryan Reynolds (who just had a colonoscopy on a bet and found a polyp).?
Or Burt Reynolds (who Christian did?just tell me he would have his role in Deliverance?out of let's say if 4 of us were the characters..meaning obviously Christian would play Lewis because he's the coolest and most fit)
(who would be Bobby/Ned Beatty? Don't say Reechard.)?
This email is about me.
I guess about a month ago I had my first physical at Sandra's urging. I know you say 'That's crazy' but it's because I've been abroad, we haven't had the greatest insurance, whatever.
So I had a physical. Everything seemed fine. He stuck his finger up my rectum. Bloodwork. Yeah.
And then a few days later he said that I have extremely high cholesterol and moderately--unusually high PSA (Prostate-specific antigen). PSA is a possible indicator of prostate cancer.
So I had a 4K test about 3 weeks ago. It said, basically, that I have a 19% chance of prostate cancer by also measuring my PSA level.
Then I had an MRI. And by the way the MRI was fucking weird. Not like the movies but like something that I can't really describe in an email very well. Very loud and 1970s like and sickening and weird.
And then while we waited for the results my family and I watched My Girl?for the first time and one of the kids says, 'Prostate cancer. Once you get that, you're done.'
So I finally got the results yesterday and on a scale from 1 - 5 for the MRI where 1 means 'normal blood flow' and 5 means 'lightning fast blood and cancer apparently' I had a zero. The doctor said he had never seen it before.
For the time being I don't believe I have prostate cancer. I will go to the urologist every 6 months to check on my PSA levels. I'm not going to get a biopsy though the doctor says it's a valid choice. Who knows.
What I believe?by doing just a little bit of research (you can also easily Google yourself).
1. Men who enjaculate A LOT have higher PSA in their blood.
2. Statistically I ejaculate twice as much as people my age. I'm a solid 6 / 7 days a week.
And that's it.?
Christian did tell me yesterday he is getting a colonoscopy. And he said it is ok to tell you. There are no symptoms as far as I know. He is doing it because he is 45.
"These are the rules."
Like that guy in Saw.
