The advice given by Perfectlap and Porsche Chick is very sound advice. Where prostate disease is concerned, I was found to have prostate cancer without ever having an abnormal PSA result. PSA is better that no test at all, but it is essential to have the finger test as well (as unpleasant as that may be to most of us!). Also, don't be talked into prostate surgery without getting lots of opinions, the after-effects are not much fun, and may be avoidable since it appears to be unnecessary in many cases, according to current opinion.
I have known two guys who died of prostate cancer, and currently a close friend has just been given just a few years to live with it - all because of inadequate testing. I was fortunate in being a health professional with experience in these areas, and knew when things were not right with me.
High cholesterol has a well-known association with 'vascular dementia', and also excessive sugar consumption is the cause of many of our modern lifestyle-related diseases.
And best wishes for your father, Perfectlap.
