Answer: Are there screening tests? Yes. Men should talk with their doctors about which tests they need, when to get them, and the pros and cons. A man might get a blood test that checks for high levels of PSA (prostate-specific antigen). If your doctor is concerned about your result, he might perform a digital rectal exam, in which he inserts a gloved finger into the anus and feels the prostate for hard, lumpy, or abnormal areas. He may also use a small needle to take a sample, or âbiopsy,â of the area to check for cancer. He may also use MRI to look at the possible tumor.
Question: Can you survive prostate cancer?
Answer: Almost all men are still alive 5 years after finding out they have early-stage prostate cancer. It usually grows slowly and stays in the same area where it started.

Among those men, 72% die of this cancer within 5 years.

While you’re there, ask for advice about food. Your cat or dog might be among the many pets in the U. S. that need to lose weight. However, in older animals, weight loss can also be a problem.

The food you choose for your cat should also have fat, which provides energy and vitamins A, D, and E. Your dog must have water, protein, fat, carbs, and some vitamins and minerals to be healthy. The amount of food he needs will depend on his size and how active he is. Ask your vet to help you figure out how much to give and what kind of food would be best. Animals that are pregnant or have recently given birth will need a high-calorie food. Cats often lose weight as they nurse their kittens, so they need to gain as much as 50% of their pre-pregnancy weight before they give birth.
