Continuing the Fight: My Battle with Prostate Cancer

Each year I introduce a guest speaker who, with the help of the ACS, is continuing the fight. I listen to the stories, and think how healthy, and lucky, I have been. But that all changed on October third.

Prostate Cancer is extremely slow growing. A 65 year old man wouldn't gain much time by having the Prostate removed; at less than 50 years old the gain in time may offset the bladder/bowel problems caused by the surgery which can be substantial. My cousin was diagnosed at 72 and opted for the seeding the Prostate. I also had a friend that was 50 when diagnosed and had it removed...his quality of life was not good the remaining year of his life. There are a number of options for the treatment of this, perhaps worthy of a follow up story.

"The Centers for Disease Control and other federal agencies don't recommend it." ......... Why is that? It's alwats been a part of my blood test every time I would go to the doc for my regular visits. Looks like the CDC would promote anything and everything that would prevent things like this from becoming deadly. I can understand the fed agencies not recommending it cause they are a bunch of stupid people anyway!

Okay didn't see full article until "officially " signed on. What does it entail for next 5 years? Did docs talk about your other ongoing battles with psychological and emotional? Again I believe these contribute to recovery! Again prayers and blessings to you, wife, children, and family.

Fight away! This is a battle that can be won. Other battles are emotional and psychological that public does not hear about but are just as important! I am not willing to delve into my presumed issues of a man but I do know that is part of The Battle. Fight away, peel your onion, you will come out as a rose with a bigger, loving heart! Y prayers are with you, your wife, children, and family!
