Damn, I hope I'm not dying too. Otoh,
my cholesterol has always been low so
hopefully this isn't cancer or something.

That said, my psa is 17 and change but
I've had the biopsy and it was negative.
My urologist say come back if it spikes
and I said what the hell is a spike when
it's already around 18? His response
was to come see him if it hit 40 and I
assured him I would.

I will be having conversations with both
my internist and cardio over the next few
weeks and months.

I just went back thru my labs for the last
10 years and the highest my total cholesterol
has been was 135, so I'm going to assume that
it's far more likely that it's the lipitor that's
knocking it down to 93 than cancer. At least
I hope that's the case.
