I lost a close friend fifteen years ago, to a rare aggressive prostate cancer that resisted all treatments. He was gone in four months.

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.

[jon-nyc]

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.

[jon-nyc]

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.

Marcus Aurelius would be proud of you.

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