Why, I have appeared in your friend recommendations many times, Do we know each other? I doubt it - you're in a Singapore call center, and I'm part of a Russian bot farm. It just wouldn't work.

40 was the new 30 and 60 was the new 50.

PSA goes up
at unacceptable rate
time for biopsy

Lab results come back
Unwanted developments
Welcome to the club

The answer is, "it depends"
Just don't wait too long

#ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth Day 25
