My father-in-law is 86 & has lived a healthy life, pretty much, but he also has had prostate cancer twice. Getting the exams done, should be for your loved ones, keeping healthy is up to the indivual & his/her family. Just imagine one appt, versus many months of worrying of the results & generally feeling lousy. Waiting is harder to do.
