Hello. Just a quick question. When you have a digital rectal exam (mainly for bleeding issues), would the doctor notice if there were any problems with the prostate?
Hi Phil80 and welcome to the forum, I had a DRE and the GP told me immediately i had prostate cancer PCa, confirmed soon after by a blood test, if your doctor thought there was the slightest possibility of cancer he would have taken a blood sample immediately and referred you to urology as has been the case with everyone i know with PCa, as Moderator Jenn has said speak with the doctor.
