Don’t “drink the koolaid” and don’t “eat the yellow snow.” When you put epidemiologists in charge of prostate cancer at the American Cancer Society this is what you get. This is from the ACS website…you cannot make this up!

The Red Sock-Be sure to read this and the comment that follows this post. Is it that the 10% of prostate cancer patients with the aggressive form of prostate cancer are "just not worth the time and money?" Spreading myths, lowering the public's and the male's guard, and for what reason? It must be for …

Don’t punish a child that wets the bed (enuresis)…even the lowliest of animals will not sleep in their urine–Prostate cancer incontinence: Men not bothered by it?

 Happy Fourth From Prostatediaries   After having had total incontinence for three months and wearing a condom catheter for that time…when one day I retained some urine I began to consider my incontinence future.

Seventy percent of men have never had a rectal exam! What? Prostate cancer: The Rodney Dangerfield of diseases…It gets no respect!

Could it be that it is more about the "mentality of the male" more than about the disease itself? As I have said in the book, " The perfect storm: Story after story about the benign nature of prostate cancer (despite 25,000 deaths a year), an exam the male does not want and the doctor …

what’s wrong with the reports of Chavez having prostate cancer-prostate cancer message boards and news reporting of medical issues?

for prostate cancer a large obamacare “barrak crasy” first to provide care for all…then another “barrak crasy” to make sure the “deprived” use it….amazing!

What! I though having a national health care system would make health care equally accessable to all and hence improve things for all? What? The lower socio-economic patient is more likely to be "unaware, over weight and smoke."  And finally, " the government needs to do more to improve the "uptake of screening and treatment …

Prostate cancer and the three kinds of lies….lies, damned lies, and statistics! Facts from the American Cancer Society but nothing about death. What?

Yes that's my dog Chloe licking the grill as the coals are heating up in the green egg as Penelope enviously looks on. Yes I did put the grill grate back on the egg and then cooked a pork  tenderloin on it. Yes it did not bother me or mine a bit. How about you? I sent  …

if you're talking you ain't learn'in  Years ago I was coming home from work and saw this old-fashioned office chair in the trash of a friend's house. It was on the curb and placed to be picked up by the garbage folks. I pulled over and looked it over and brought it home. I put it in …
