I MARRIED A DICK DOCTOR WHO FIXES WOMEN TOO


            being the wife of the Dick Doctor, I had to ask how on earth
            does that big thing fit in there? The Dick Doctor assured me
            that it fits just fine in that particular patient. And evidently,
            you can have your prostate measured for size if your urologist
            does an ultrasound.
               So, here is the real reason the Trickster is such a problem. It
            lives up to the nickname I have given it. The prostate can be a
            normal size and full of cancer with horrible symptoms. Or, you
            can have a little prostate with no cancer and still have horrible
            symptoms. Or you can have a prostate that is 300 grams with no
            symptoms and not have prostate cancer. As usual, size does not
            matter as in this case. The Trickster can come in all shapes and
            sizes and either be a good guy or a bad guy with no symptoms
            or indicators of its status.
               You should be reaching for the number of your local board-
            certified urologist at this point in the book.
               When it comes to prostate cancer, there are no two patients
            alike. There are several ways to treat prostate cancer, which is
            a discussion to have with your urologist. With treatments like
            radiation, both external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy
            available, surgery may be avoided. If surgery is necessary, there
            are two ways to remove the prostate, which is either open or
            robotic surgery. For this very reason, you must be your own
            best detective and use every tool at your disposal to make sure
            you stay healthy. Don’t wait for prostate cancer to metastasize
            or spread throughout the body. You have choices to battle this
            disease if you act early. Depending on the stage of the cancer,
            your PSA, and how much prostate cancer there is, combined
