I'm not a medical doctor... just a guy in his 40's. I think a good time to start getting checked is mid-twenties. Now... you don't have to get checked every year until you're in your 40's-50's.
Every 3-5 years until your 40's would probably be good enough if you have no family history of prostate cancer. Now, another thing... there are TWO tests. The digit test and a blood test (TSA test)... Of course, the blood test is more expensive... Nevertheless, a minute or three of discomfort and a bit of embarrassment is WELL worth peace of mind.It's no big deal.
Get it done!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
