I think some of the signs of prostate cancer can be an elevated PSA and urinary problems. If you haven't had any trauma to the area recently, perhaps it could be a hernia. I truely hope you will see a doctor. These days prostate cancer is very treatable if caught early enough.

well, even if you DO see a doctor, it’s not like he can force you to receive treatment. i agree with you on the accidental, futile nature of life, but i figure, if i’m alive now, i might as well enjoy it as much as possible and have as fun and fulfilling a life as possible.

so if i were you, i’d go to the doctor. if it was something easily treatable that wouldn’t infringe on my life (such as a daily pill or something), i’d take the treatment. if i found out it was cancer, i’d just refuse treatment and enjoy the remainder of my life as much as possible.

i’m sure you agree when i say i’d rather have 6 months of good, functional living and then die, as opposed to spending 5 years on chemo, and finally dying miserably.

oh, and to really answer your question, i’m sorry, i have no idea what prostate cancer feels like, though i hear that since it causes your prostate to swell, it usually causes difficulty urinating, very frequent urinating, or painful urinating.

You probably wouldn’t feel it at all if it was cancer. It sounds more like prostatis to me. It’s totally curable with antibiotics….special ones for the prostate.

Why not go to the doc and get rid of the discomfort….it’s only going to get worse if you don’t.

PS…In reading your profile statment, you sound a lot like me…with many of the same beliefs and feelings.

prostate cancer is not generally uncomfortable…which is why it usually progresses quite a ways before anything is noticed at all, and then it is usually just something like a slow urinary stream, not pain.
And, if you truly think life is worthless, why bother to ask?
