seems like O.J’s variant moved pretty quickly. Or maybe he didn’t take tests over the years

I'm only speculating but he was in prison until he was 70. (If my math is correct) Do doc's do PSA after 70? My guess is that there isn't a lot of preventative care in prison. And that by the time they found it, it was pretty far along.

Your math is correct. My guess is that the cancer was pretty serious by the time it was found. Dogonne it, he can't search for Ron and Nicole's true killers any longer. 😪 Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I agree that it is an important matter and we all can get the word out about the importance of healthy lifestyle and regular age appropriate screening.
