    My father died of it 14 years ago.

      I wasn’t aware of that. Was it an aggressive form or a slow growing? Mine was caught very early although the second biopsy indicated a more aggressive type than was first detected. I was in surgery within a month. Five years now have gone by and PSA remains at the post surgery level of 0.1.

        We think it was slow growing but he ignored it. He didn’t share too much as he was going through it.

          That's the generation. Iron Johns.

          Is this Scott Adamas of Hitchhikers' Guide? In any event I hope this works for him in all ways.

            It's the Dilbert guy.

            You're thinking of Douglas Adams.

              Ah, yes. Even so, if it were a gas pump jockey I'd still wish that Trump's involvement would help and that the treatment would be successful.

                Congratulations Renauda! Keep those elbows up. You have always impressed me as man of few but wise words here. A hardy man unaffected by the drivel that keeps many up at night in this crazy world. A man who can open his front door one morning to be greeted by a hungry polar bear and wouldn't flinch. Prostate cancer is no match for my favorite Canadian Alpha.

                      Douglas died of a heart attack in 2001, sadly, aged 49.

                      I was only joking

                        Scott was an early relatively well thought out supporter of Trump, but has had his ups and downs with him. I think Adams wrote a book on why Trump's persuasion works so well. Then he became very disappointed when Trump was presented with an opportunity to say some public words that would make it clear that his supporters were not rabid racists, and Trump did not rise to the opportunity. Scott felt betrayed, because Trump's outspoken supporters were taking a reputational hit at the time, over some news cycle that now escapes me. That was during Trump's first term, and I guess Scott has drifted back into the camp since then, if he ever left it.

                          Did you see the Trump interview on 60 Minutes last night? Norah O'Donnel just can't help herself from trying to interrupt him and play gotcha. he fell for none of it.

                            Saying he didn’t know who the guy was who he just sold a pardon to looked like a gotcha moment to me.

                            But the magats who are fine with his corruption probably would give him a W for the exchange.

                            If you don't take it, it can only good happen.
