While we're on the subject... age 50 is a also good time to start having a PSA test each year to alert you to the occurence prostate cancer. Here are three facts about prostate cancer:
1. This is the second commonest cancer that affect men after lung cancer
2. Prostate cancer is more aggressive in a black person than a white person
3. The risk of developing prostate cancer increases after the age of 50 years.
A painless blood test each year is really all you need!
BTW...Best of luck Mark. We're all pulling for you!
