And you won't. PSA tests are covered by Alberta Health Care, trust me I know.

Even though I no longer have one (prostate that is) they still have to test the PSA levels, which by the way came back normal for the one done 6 weeks post surgery.

Making Steve a happy camper.

I didn't know having the prostate removed made one camp.

Good news, though.

Never heard it called a perogy before. Do we really want to see the operation piccys? I think not.

Even worse - waiting the 8 weeks, only to be told there was a "technical error" and it needs to be repeated. I've had 6 done in 6 years, because 3 were not good enough. I haven't got 8 weeks to wait before we go, which is why I was asking.
