Surely it depends on how long GP's finger is.

If GP offers DRE as the only test, reject it and insist on a PSA blood test.

He did however prescribe omexel and another blood test.

Omexel (tamsulosin) is interesting. The doc said give it 2 to 3 weeks, and I'm a week in. It's definitely doing something but I'm yet to be convinced that it's beneficial. That is to say more side effects than intended outcomes at the moment.

And the blood test? Somehow the lab didn't do the PSA, everything else* but not PSA. The nurse, when taking the blood, said she couldn't read the doctor's handwriting (and I thought that was a cliché) so just took enough blood and let the lab decipher the prescription. So I best go back to the doc to get that one done, just to be sure.

*total cholesterol was so slightly up but ratio remains OK.

Bit late reporting but kids away for the night, house full of paint fumes, woke between 3 and 4, too warm, too smelly (paint), up, get dressed, throw open windows, took dog for half hour walk and picked 2 carrier bags of litter off the.local streets. Back to a cooler, less smelly house.
This morning, house smells considerable less of paint, huzzah
Local CCTV operators must wonder what the heck someone's doing at that time of the morning, shoving rubbish out of a carrier bag and into local litter bins

I used to be a regular early hours walker. Got used to being stopped, and explaining I was just out for a walk.
In time the police got used to seeing me wandering the streets around 2-3 am.
