My father passed away 14 years ago following a late diagnosis of prostate cancer. Had it for years and metastasised to the bone. When I turned 50 I asked my GP for a physical exam and PSA test which was carried out without issue. Recently asked for another PSA two years after the last and results came back positive. Another GP in the practise called me and gave me a dressing down, asking why I'd requested it, they are imperfect and now that a positive result had been returned, he couldn't ignore it and next steps would be needed.
Honestly, flabbergasted.
Also commented on my slightly raised cholesterol from a check up a year ago and also pooh pooed the life changes I'd made in the past 6 years to improve my nutrition and exercise habits. Too difficult to affect your cholesterol naturally apparently.
I find it hugely frustrating that when you try to do the right thing and take responsibility for your own wellbeing, this is often the response you get ( in my experience )
