CAN YOU GET LIFE INSURANCE IF YOU’VE HAD PROSTATE CANCER?

More men are surviving prostate melanoma. But can you still buy affordable life insurance?


For many men over a certain age, getting an annual actual examination is no big deal. Except for one particular analyze. And if you’re a male, you know what analyze I’m talking about.


Your doctor usually leaves this analyze for last. (Doctors have a warped humorousness.) You know it’s coming because all you hear is the snap of a rubber glove, followed by the time-honored phrase: “Now cough!” Yes, I am referring to the actual (commonly called a Digital Rectal Exam or “DRE”) analyze for prostate melanoma. Though slightly uncomfortable, this analyze is quite useful in detecting the beginning of the second most popular form of melanoma in men (after skin cancer).


Typically, there are no beginning symptoms for prostate melanoma, which is commonly a slow-growth illness. Most men who are diagnosed with prostate melanoma are over age 65. The infection is more widespread in African-American men than in white men.
