All Comments on 'The Professional Victim Ch. 03'

This is a terrific series. I loved it. The solution to the mystery was a little far-fetched, but, hey, this is fiction!

About the PSA test, I'm 73. My physician told me that there was no evidence that the PSA test saved lives. For a full report look up the National Cancer Institute's Fact Sheet on the PSA test, especially questions 7 & 8. Sorry rules prevent me from giving the URL. My impression is that the PSA is more appropriate for men between 40 and 60.

Another doctor once told me that autopsies of older men showed that 90% of them had non-invasive prostate cancer. I guess that we weren't built to live longer than 50.

Your stories turn me on and make me cry, too - a wonderful combination. Thank you for 'reaching out'.

After reading all three chapters of this story, all I can say is...fantastic! It is insightful, erotic, has a twist ending AND a public service announcement. Excellently done.

Really enjoyed writing style and plot.

Prostate story ... who knows?

Of the 28,000 prostate deaths, what percent died from complications related to treatment?

Around 1996 (age 54), my PSA went up to 5 ... and by 2015 was around 20 (since I elected no treatment or biopsy)

PSA is a 'caution flag'. Medical community treats it like a 'red flag' to be immediately followed by biopsy and often surgery - both of which have high complication rates.

Very well written story, I’m a sucker for a happy ending. With a very insightful look at cancer

I have had 2 friends die of Prostate. Another is suffering from it. He is Stage 4 which means his chances are slim. I am 68 and religously get a PSA test every year. I just had one and the result was good. I hope your male readers take your advice seriously. It is not a nice way to die. Your new friend Paul.
