John Marshall- my brother in law

John Marshall passed away two years ago from prostate cancer. His first PSA was when he was 55 and it was 410!! I cannot believe that his primary care physician didn’t start the PSA test prior to 55! He had several other diseases that he had during his life and his doctor should have ordered PSA tests starting at age 50! He lasted about 6 months after his diagnosis. Since his diagnosis and my diagnosis of prostate cancer, I am telling anyone I know or talk to that they need to advocate for themselves and demand their doctor start PSA testing by the age of 45!!
