29. I would think as POTUS he would get all necessary tests.

May 18

Given the import of his office.
Whether he wanted the tests or not.

But yes I have some of the same questions, if he was getting the PSA every year,
why was the cancer not detected on the last PSA.

Perhaps all cancers are not picked up by PSA testing.
Or the cancer being so aggressive spread quickly in just one year.

I have no idea, just speculating.
Perhaps someone with personal experience or an oncology background can comment.
