James Van Der Beek, best known as the titular character on “Dawson’s Creek,” has died at 48, according to a statement from his family posted on Instagram.
Yeah, that’s what I’ve always heard as well. But I personally know 3 people that have been diagnosed before 45, one was in their 30s. Another died from it before their 45th. So it seems like it should be sooner.
What’s generally a recommended age to get it at?
My doctor said 40 but YMMV
I’ve always heard 45 unless you have a family history.

Mine suggested I start at 20 but he’d also rub both my shoulders as he did it, so I didnt complain too much.
How did he check your prostate if both his hands were on your shoulders
usually starting mid 40ss, insurance or doctors may be resistance to even approve though.
It varies… You can see from the answers here. My doc said 50yo but you can get one if you want and then it’s a matter of years between checks.
