PSA Tests

My brother-in-law is going in again on Wednesday to have his PSA checked. I think it is a good idea for any man over 40 to have his checked. It seems like younger and younger men are getting prostate cancer and it has no symptoms. If it gets too far along and into the bones, it is pretty much hopeless. He has had 42 radiations treatments back in 2000 and now his PSA is rising again. They don't do anything till it gets to 10 or 12 and then hewould have to have radioactive pellets put into his stomach area. It's not fun. So if any of you think you should be checked - do it.
