If Bud Abbott died of prostate cancer in 1974 then “when” did Costello die? No…”when” is in right field.
Bud Abbott was diagnosed with prostate cancer shortly after breaking his hip in 1972. Because he died of the disease two years later the fracture may have been a pathologic fracture i.e. weakened bone because the prostate cancer had spread there. He was 79.

Penile rehabilitation…is that like a witness protection program…what did it do wrong?
None of the various penile rejuvenation, I mean rehabilitation protocols have been proven to work.

Moishe Rosen’s (1932-2010) perspective on terminal prostate cancer one year ago-poignant
I remember the things that went through my head when the realization that I had prostate cancer took hold. For me the toughest part was waiting on the biopsy and wondering if I had the "bad" kind. I now refer to that as the Frank Zappa kind. Then there was the part of knowing I …
Don’t you dare let that mean ole urologist biopsy your prostate for profit!
It's funny... Richard Ablin kept on referring to all the money that urologists make doing biopsies and PSAs. When people start striking right at the money that " those rich doctors" make, I'm sorry, I just tune out.
