Many thanks doctor.
Could you please explain the process for taking digital rectal test.
I understand my labs are abnormal but there is past history for my grand parents, that's I am more worry.
If cancer is deducted, then is it curable by medicines.
Also mentioned levels in query are beginning, middle or too high.
At this stage is it controllable by medicines or not
Please help since I am more worry.
