My doctors in the States advised me not to get tested because the chances of a false positive were high and they didn’t want me to be upset. They said that was the AMA recommendation. When I moved to a foreign country, I was tested and it was positive. Further tests showed metastases in my ribs and vertebrae. After two courses of radiation, my PET scans are finally clear. If I’d gone one more year without a test, I would probably be dead now. Get the test.
Not taking a test because of a fear of a false positive is insane
@Jeff Carney my dad had a high PSA number so his doctor recommended a biopsy. Turned out he was fine but the biopsy damaged his prostate to the extent that he couldn’t urinate anymore. The last 10 plus years of his life he was forced to wear a catheter until he died at 93. Sometimes it’s best to just leave it alone.
i got a false positive, stressed for two weeks thinking i was going to die smh…
@dan ven very sorry for your loss. I didn’t know that biopsy could have such high risks.
@Austin H you can go for a follow-up test on your testosterone levels which can be helpful
When my day was being prepped for opperation he shouted “I am going to have my IQ Raised!!
eggs and polution
Da J4b
Research
believing conspiracy leads
to brain damage !
You better find studies of brains that died from covid & what has been found 😳
This is why intermittent fasting and avoiding highly processed foods are essential
Bros, I know it’s uncomfortable but every year beginning at age 40 you gotta let the doctor stick his thumb up your butt. That’s how he checks for anything out of the ordinary in your prostate.
Gotta do it.
Take it in the @$$ for those you love and those who love you.
Gotta do it.
No getting around it.
So what causes it, this was useless
Your comment is useless.
Being a beta
Not jerking enough
Not enough rosey palming it.
I think I got that and colon cancer
Drink THC
I wish these tests are available on e-commerce stores like pregnancy tests.
Different steps for two different things
so they are not explaining the reasons why this is happening at all?
vax
They do. Listen to the video ”likely due to reduced testing in previous years” go get yourself/loved ones tested yearly after 50!
Don’t listen to the vaccine comments. They only came out a couple years ago. This has been growing problem for a lot longer. They wouldn’t have the research that fast anyway even if the vaccines were causing things like that. I’m afraid a lot of ignorant Americans are going to blame those vaccines for everything instead of realizing our healthcare has degraded that much.
Microplastics arent helping.
Please don’t listen to misinformation. You can just ask a trusted doctor for explanation about prostate cancer and they have a pamphlet or sheet of paper with a summary information.
According to this video, they did explain that the rise of Prostate cancer is very likely associated with the lack of men who are tested. Especially in this era where science is less trusted or that people can’t afford to see the doctors. For those who are susceptible to it, please go get tested if you think you may have it because if delayed, it can get so much worse and the cancer can spread. I know people who literally had their prostate removed as a precaution because the prostate cancer runs in their family.
PFAS is the new Lead. Forever chemicals need banned
Cardiac arrests and heart attacks too 😔
It was already getting bad when we made a whole month for awareness, movember
I’m just waiting for my stepfather to drop dead.
Lol what he did to u
@Ron F. I used to be a lineman and I worked with team members that are overweight alcoholic smokers and it was up to me to do EMS on the field and sometimes I was the one that got hurt trying to save my teammate’s.
Vaccine
Any Man Who Is on the Verge of turning 45 on up. I am blessed 😢 thank JAH that when my PSA was elevated it was still contained in the Prostate two years later 0.00! Not so for my younger brother( only) he was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate but unfortunately it progressed to STAGE 4 BONE CANCER☹️! I’m having a heart to heart with my two sons get checked
I’m scared my balls would shrink. I love my balls
This is why I stopped eating red meat and drinking. Those are the leading causes of prostate and colon cancer.
Red meat propaganda brought to you by the WHO. Do some research on red meat. its the best superfood out there
@D G The stomach can’t properly process red meat because it constantly tears the lining of the stomach and colon. There’s hundreds of independent studies, even some done by the meat industry that all link the consumption of red meat with cancer. You can also ask any doctor.
@Doctor Marvelous I’m just telling you the carnivore diet is quite amazing, just look in to it at least. It has helped many people cure a plethora of ailments
@D G This just isn’t true. “Look into it” is not objective research. Objective, peer reviewed research proves that a diet high in red meat causes cancer. It also increases your chance for heart disease and stroke. Red meat does not cure any ailment.
Defund the American Cancer Society.
Nothing is on the rise, these doctors is the enemy….they have a cure, we need to shut them frauds down
More prevention
Get well soon, Mr. Almaguer. 🙏🏼
What on earth do the tests have to do with the rise in the prostate cancer? What’s causing the rise in the cancer???
The food
If you want the truth it’s the covid vaccine.. 🇬🇧
The pandemic taught us that right? Cause and effect? More testing = more revealed cases to document = rising numbers of documented cases
They’ll never tell you.
They want you dead anyways.
Strong concentration of CBD. My uncle had stage 4 and after this was introduced his cancer went down to be small enough to be removed.
How do you take it, just on the tongue?
Is that CBD from home grown plants and how do you use it? Smoking is definitely out of the question.
So many ways to die and so many ways to suffer.
Friend of mine (54yrs) went to the doctor one day cuz he was feeling tired all the time. Doc does labs and his PSA was thru the roof. He had stage 4 prostate cancer and MD Anderson told him that it was to advanced to treat. It spread to his hips and lower intestines like fire, MD Anderson told him to get his affairs in order and try and live as comfortable as he could. All of this was missed due to the fact he never went to the doctor for random yearly PSA tests.
😢
“cuz” and “thru” et cetera
You’re so proud to present yourself to the world as the brilliant genius full of wisdom, aren’t you?
When you are too stupid to be embarassed…
My brother was diagnosed and he had surgery and radiation now they want to continue with radiation and hormone therapy.
Could this be partly due to pollution and or contaminants in our water? Or, from pesticide used to grow our food?
All of the above.
“Likely due to a reduction in testing in previous years” go get yourself/loved ones tested yearly after 50!
What about shots?
Milk 🥛 the prostate
Every day to Hitomi Tanka
My father died of prostate cancer. My heart is with him.
Same
It’s the jab
But Joe Biden said he was gonna cure cancer,that’s why 80 mil voted for him…………………………….
Even if I were to have it, I wouldn’t want to know, regardless, my uncle is currently dying of cancer, just give me some weed and let me die.
Many diseases are on the rise, some directly related to the amounts of microplastic and PFOAs in our food.
Natural Male Enhancement. It helps keep the body healthy.
Thank you Lester, this is very important conversation for all men 🙏
This is because health insurance in the US gets to decide health care, not medical doctors. Colon cancer runs in my husband’s family, and his doctor used to screen every year. Then insurance decided they would only cover every two years. Now it’s every three years.
They’ve become so bad about it in last couple decades. I remember a cancer hospital near me used to offer free cancer testing annually for anyone that has high risk in their family. They don’t do that anymore despite fundraising all the time. You have to beg to get anything done.
Glad your family has insurance, maybe do a story on the millions of Americans who don’t.
Gee, what do all of these people have in common…? Cough cough. Wink wink. You already know don’t ya?
The anti vaxxers making comments like to ignore that there’s been major changes to our bodies since the 90s; like roundup now being present in the urine of 90% of Americans. That only started a couple decades ago. There’s also now microplastics in everyone. Also going back to around the 90s. But nahhh couldn’t be anything but a vaccine that we just started taking 🙄 (hope they’d use their common sense that we wouldn’t see research that quickly even if that was true!)
The worst thing ever about the covid vaccine is that Americans are going to ignore our healthcare failing us so they can blame that instead. Every death or health issue will be met with “must be the jab!” 🤡 With them staying ignorant, not realizing half of Americans didn’t even get the covid shots.
wheat, sweeteners, alcohol..lithium particles
This is not news. This is an advertisement from the medical community. Attempting to get people to spend more of their money on medical expenses. Such terrible greed…
Throughout our lives, there is nothing we can
truly call ours forever; impermanence is the
root of affliction.
If we carry our afflictions into the following
day, we will never understand our minds and
see our true nature.
Only when we eradicate all our afflictions
can we live our days with joy and free
ourselves from a sorrowful state of mind.
Fun fact: Over the counter pregnancy tests detect the hormone, HCG (I think🤔), that is also present in *men* _only_ when they have prostate cancer. If a man urinates on a pregnancy test and it’s positive, he’s producing that hormone and there’s only one reason why – cancer!
I tried to get my step dad to pee on a test because his doctor’s kept telling him his PSA results weren’t good and he needed to check for cancer. He didn’t want to believe either of us so he just ignored them for over ten years! Now, he’s dealing with three different kinds of cancer and the prostate one isn’t even the scariest one. But, the excessive chemo treatment, he’s currently doing, seems to be working. The tumors are shrinking. It’s crazy how poisoning him almost to death, is the cure.
Thanks for the tip.And recovery to your dad
I skipped *EVERYTHING* medical testing during the pandemic…..
…no mention of THAT impact.
The pandemic has impacted medicine in ways we have yet to discover…….OR WILL FAIL TO
Test are useless if you can’t afford treatments.
Baby boomer are budging the number thanks again baby boomer 😉
Keep shooting loads and getting those massages. And stop with NNN.
From a strictly medical standpoint, a 70 something year old getting prostate cancer is not exactly earth-shattering. Above 70 most of us will either get some kind of cancer, heart disease, or some other ailment
Another side effect of that ” safe and effective” 💉💉💉!
Considering all the bad toxic food and environmental factors are bodies deal with, I believe in being as proactive as possible with not only getting testing done but researching and learning what healthy things I can do. I have started drinking lots of pure RO filtered water with electrolytes. Eating healthier including organics, supplements, herbs, and spices and even mushroom supplements to help myself, so I can be there for my family and hopefully help my kids and grandkids. Oh! And I walk and get exercise, with being careful only doing exercise my body can handle and learning where to draw the line. I found healthy exercises that were more like resistance training, but with no risk of bodily damage. Do your Research and adapt your life, help yourself before it’s too late. You only live, once, make it last.
Imagind people fasting and not injecting poison? Lol
Good for you. I too believe it is the food we consume. It’s ridden with all types of unhealthy things our body should never consume, not even a little bit. I’ve began shopping at healthier places and have left Walmart and big grocery chains in the dust!
Funny how prostate cancer is so prevalent in US. But in Okinawa, it basically doesn’t exist. Diet? lifestyles?
@Tri Nguyen Agreed. I have a book on the Okinawa diet, I was researching Japan and places around world where long life spans are common. Looking at diet, exercise, traditions, etc. I was also looking at the old world medicines/herbs like Traditional Chinese Medicine and others.
@Tri Nguyen deliberate genocide
Eat real food. Quit eating garbage
Get ur Covid shot
The Healthcare IS HIJACKED by Corporate MUrderrs INDIA MOFIA PAYED off by billionaires WHO WILL PAY and not in money THANK GOD TRIGGERED BY SPIKE PROTEIN !!!!!!! INTENTIONAL
can’t forget about our Vietnam veterans being exposed to agent orange, which causes advance forms of prostate cancer.
The federal government knows about this, but refuses to say anything. Why? Because it will cost them billions of dollars and treating a disease that they caused by hiring companies to make agent orange .
In France, as a doctor, I have to test my patients between 50 and 75 once a year (PSA is almost free because everyone as social security). I rarely diagnose advanced cancers … because it’s cheap and almost free. If PSA is to high, I can ask for another test 3 or 6 months later , or ask for MRI. I can also send my patient to an urologist for biopsies. If my patient has cancer, treatment and everything concerning his cancer is free (social security will pay 100% if you go to public hospital) …
What do they expect. The amount of poison, sugar, refined oil in our food is sickening.
Nature keeps trying to cull, but humans keep making more humans at an entirely unsubstainable birth:death ratio of 6:1 while remaining oblivious to the math or the facts.
*Stop making so many pointless humans. Pull out.*
Why tell us to worry about something that we can’t do anything about? No wonder everyone is anxious and depressed in this country. Thanks NBC for that
Americans are really dumb, stop eating processed food from the store they are fake and very unhealthy. They put dye and chemicals in your food to make you sick and give you cancer. Eating red 40 will give you bowel cancer and other problems. Wake up
Most Americans are not dumb; only about 50% took the poison jab, so there’s at least 50% of the populous that is informed to the pharma bs
Is it because more men (that’s right, women can’t get prostate cancer) are being screened?
*Never mentioned Numbers on PSA Scale? Mine is enlarged with a PSA below 7 and every year they want to do biopsies and never anything wrong. Just an uncomfortable procedure insurance covers with a huge markup profit for the doctor in trade for the Obama care. Don’t buy into this* 💩💩💩💩
💉💉💉💉
Chemical trails, poisonous food with all kinds of chemicals we can’t pronounce, candles we are inhaling, cancerous cleaning products,,, the list goes on and on.. we really don’t stand a chance in this country
Good.
Told y’all don’t get the vaccines
This hits home.
Many prayers to this man and his family. Commenting/liking to help spread awareness.
The government is feeding us cancer to fix the population
I’m addicted to pigger nussy 🤠

How many of these new cases were vaccinated
My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in August. Initially he was going to Toll gate Radiology for radiation treatments. He got sick in October and believed that it was because of the radiation treatments. His his doctor at Tollgate Radiology advised him that he had RSV. Back in September he had a scan of his lungs and they said his lungs were “clear” .Towards the end of November he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and it was found out that he had stage 4 lung cancer as well. He was placed on a respirator and died 3 weeks later. It is super important to get a full body scan when being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
This is why we must take care of our health through fitness & deal with stress in healthy ways. My grandpa has got this cancer but I know we can all be healthier, I speak for severe inflammatory bowel disease but know how important fitness can affect one’s health
Largely because doctors have stopped doing routine “prostate exams.” You should demand your doctor do a prostate exam, yearly.
Us peasants are being left to die.
@Tangarisu Doctors are saying the digital prostate exams haven’t proven to be particularly accurate in finding cancer. However, the exam has some value, and doctors will do it, if you ask. Not doing the exam can result in not finding cancer before it’s too late.
More fear mongering from the news 😂 Did you hear the sky is going to fall on you tomorrow too? Remember boys and girls, the news is not your friend, the news is there to use and manipulate you into thinking a certain way and they use FEAR to push their agenda because it’s the lowest of the frequencies. Scared people can’t think for themselves and turn into sheep. I can’t wait for the next illness to be released during 2024 😂😂😂
Hope you’re dad stays healthy.
All cancers are on a rise. The vaccine is working like planned.
Fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear… you getting it yet… no…. ok… FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR
I read that in order to keep prostate cancer away, men should eat tomatoes every day.
TRT has become so easy to acquire, and I was a victim of TRT also and my PSA levels had increased. I’ve since stopped the TRT therapy and my PSA levels have came back down significantly. TRT is so easy to get. It’s like going to the liquor store and buying a bottle
It’s all this stressing.
Trillions pump into a cure for cancer and it,s only getting worse, wake up sheeple. To much money for them to cure.
When will the Cervical Specific Antigen blood test be available?
Brought to you by Pfizer
Because we are more concerned about gas stoves than endocrine disrupting plastics and seed oils plaguing our entire earth
A lot more increases in illness since they started giving people the you know what … I’m not doing it.. Not even for the next scare they about to rollout
It’s a slow cancer in old men (>70). They’ll probably die of other causes before prostrate cancer.
Just get the test done I am 58 and have been getting for like 10-15 year. Father had it but didn’t die from it. Oldest brother has it . Living with it and under control. Just go it it done
Jesus is the only cure.
Covid vaccine
My mother said once too me as a kid u won’t get health unless u have the money
She call them death dealers but they are quick to rip u up for organs donors 😂
It’s the food.
Are most of these men vaccinated for Covid 19?
This is a sign to get right with God before you pass away because this life is temporary and the afterlife is permanent.
