sdandrea1 Me too! It's not logical, but is somehow the natural order in the behavior of man and probably linked to his superiority in some way.

    johnnydoom saw that happen a couple years ago. Car in the lane to my right had the hood pop at about 65-70 mph. Driver kept her cool, slowed down, and pulled over between traffic lanes, and off ramp. Pretty sure she probably shit herself, I sure would have!!

      azgreg Had my first post 60 physical. I'm now on Tamsulosin for my prostate and Lisinopril for my blood pressure along with a blood pressure machine for dailey testing.

      I'm on both of those as well. I'm down to 5mg on the Lisinopril since retiring. It helps👍. 10mg was making me dizzy (BP too low). I'm probably going to have to get the prostate lasered down a bit......maybe this year

          johnnydoom back in the day, mid 70s, this happened to me driving a yellow cab. On lake shore drive, near soldiers field. Hood snapped off, flew over cab. My passenger actually helped me retrieve it. Stuffed it in back seat.

            Taking Lisinopril, Atorvastatin, Amlodipine Besylate for many years. My PSA just took a little jump, threatening me with Lupron. YIkes, know someone who went through that and said never again. Going to do another PSA test in a month. If still up, will do the $20,000 full body scan. A newer test that only scans for prostate cancer anywhere in the body. Had 40 radiation treatments about 15 years ago. Just about back to normal after my back surgery at the end of December.

              It can spread to any part of the body. Generally goes to the bones of which is not a good thing. There is no treatment for that. It feeds off of testosterone, to slow it down they give you female hormone. Really messes you up.

                  I am on tamsulosin also. Will get lasered this summer however. My new pee doc doesn’t like tamsulosin. Wants me off it. Personally I don’t think it is working very well. Was also on dutasteride but the side effects sucked.

                    Father in law, 30 years ago, had prostate cancer. By the time they found it, it had spread everywhere. Don’t have to say more. They gave him a morphine pump.

                        Mine was found early and had not spread. Had a bone scan back then. The new scan they have has a carrier that only detects prostate cancer any where in your body. $20,000.
                        Mine was found during yearly physical blood test. Be sure to get a PSA test at least once a year.

                          A friend of mine had prostrate cancer, it was treated with surgery, spread to his back and it eventually did him in.

                          azgreg Sucks getting old. I went into an antique store the other day and they wouldn't let me leave.

                          Slapped a price tag on your forehead, did they?

                              PA-PLAYA Been on Lisinopril for several years, but added Tamsulosin and Atorvastatin back last summer.

                              Atorvastatin here too. Read a lot of bad things about statins but I've had no issues. I take Losartin for BP.

                                What's up? My PSA is a little over 4 and my urologist isn't worried. He feels that's just where it wants to hang out. I've had a urine test for Prostate cancer and an MRI and both came back negative. I'm a little concerned he's not concerned enough.

                                    There's two kinds of prostate cancer, one grows slowly and the other grows quickly. I have a friend (70) with the slow growing kind and they're not treating it. They'rejust watching it. Say he'll die of old age before it gets him.
