I haven’t had any cardio procedures but I have had

a seesaw PSA for 20 years and was cleared of cancer via an MRI. Point being is that when I first explained to my personal physician that there had never been any cancer in my family back at least four generations, his response was, “Well, you could always be the first.” A urologist I was seeing before he retired two years ago told me that at my age, given the very low expectations of prostate cancer, it was almost certain that something else would kill me long before cancer got going. Hope all proceeds well for you. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 5/9/2026, 2:08:43 PM
