Dear Ann Landers,
lease print something again about the impor-tance of having a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test to detect prostate cancer. One of my dearest friends recendy died from this ter-rible disease, and a relative is now bravely fighting it. Every year, 35,000 men in the United States die from prostate can-cer. If it is detected early enough, it can be cured. Every male 40 and over should have an annual physical examination. After 50, men also should have a simple PSA blood test to detect prostate cancer that the doctor cannot feel during a digital exam. The PSA test can be done in a doctor's office. Please tell your readers, Ann. It could save lives. -Your Faithful Reader in Fort Worth

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
