Four year PSA results are in!

 I just left the Urologist office after my four year check-up, and he has told me to renew my ZERO CLUB membership for another six months! My New Year's wish is for each of you to either renew your ZERO CLUB membership, or join us as a newbie.

Thanks Bronson. The Urology office is moving to a new location tomorrow, and will start using a new rapid PSA test, we will check in, give a blood sample and have the results when the Doc walks in for the visit. He said they have calibrated the machine with the one the outside lab, and the results will be identical. I just hope it keeps coming up ZERO!
