Dear Believers,

In September 2008 I had a PSA test done. From what you can see below the number was 18.3, way above the normal, which is between 0.0 and 4.0. Dr. Patina was shock to see that my PSA jumped so high in just 1 year. She decided to have me retested, which is the second test below. I accepted. I followed up with an urologist who performed a prostate examination and determined that my prostate was the correct size. After conferring with Dr. Patina and getting a history of my health condition, the urologist decided to wait and wanted to see me back in 6 weeks for a retest.

Dr. Patina informed me that she needs to go to work on me right away. She stated that all of her male patients who came to her for prostate cancer, every one of them had hernia repair surgery. I just had a hernia repair surgery in October of 2007. Dr. Patina informed me that she would have to “clear” the hernia scar using something called a medi body pack, because it was that scar that was interfering with my prostate. Dr. Patina explained to me in details what she meant by “clearing the scar,” but it’s too much for me to try to explain here.

I intend to make this clear for the benefit of others, be it the will of Allah. I also intend to follow up with my urologist and update the reader on this. Finally, I’m asking the reader what does this have to do with aphasia?

Of course I recognize that an accurate diagnose has to be made and that everybody situation, including timing or circumstances, is not the same. Also as you are aware there are new discoveries proven to be of great value, being made in all of the sciences everyday. I am among those who are benefiting from the improvements in medical science.

Jabril Muhammad

P.S. Below are my lab reports (PSA) from September 18 2008, October 1, 2008 and January 23, 2009.

P.S II. I’ve just read the following words taken from USA Today, February 20-22, 2009, “At the time when more people are forced to buy their own health insurance because job losses, costs for many individual policies are soaring.”

 In intend to comment on this problem in Aphasia 7 and I intend to end my efforts to inform the readers of my health situation, be it the will of Allah.

Due to technical difficulty, I’m unable to post the actual lab reports. Please return next week to view the lab reports.
