[FED 387]

In 2009 I went in for my "routine" physical to renew my NHRA license I coupled this with my annual physical covered by my insurance--- My DR. did all the NHRA required tests along with my regular exam and digital exam and my blood panel work came back with a very high PSA (prostate) results so he suggested we do another test in 90 days--we did another blood draw in 90 days and my PSA score had increased dramatically so he suggested I see a Urologist---I set up an exam and by the time I got in to see the Urologist my PSA had increased even more---so we did a biopsy which came back NEGATIVE and further blood tests every 90 days for the next 2 years dropped back to my "normal" level and stayed there--- after year 2's test it all of a sudden escalated dangerously high so my Urologist suggested another biopsy which I did and it came back POSITIVE for CANCER---I was scheduled for a Prosatetectomy ( surgical removal of the prostate) between the time I was diagnosed with CANCER end of April 2009 and and the operation about 4 weeks later June 2009 my cancer had progressed from a 2B level to a 3B/4A level--- had I waited any longer it would have been TERMINAL for me----- I never suspected anything and thankfully the NHRA license renewal physical probably helped me discover a potential fatal medical condition left untreated for another 6 months could have been disastrous- ---FED 387
