The greatest generation, heaven, and nothing to do with prostate cancer.
I absolutely loved my sometimes imperfect mother. I don't care about this or that or stuff my father said as to why he divorced her and ran off with a "hussy" to Alaska as my grandmother described the situation.

Finally! Penelope had quit chasing the lawnmower. Some prostate cancer patients should learn to quit chasing the lastest greatest treatments.

A man in his early 40’s diagnosed with Gleason’s 7 prostate cancer with normal gland on exam and slightly elevated PSA.
My dear buddy Jo An Baldwin Peters made a comment on one of the posts yesterday and mentioned that her husband needed a MRI. They live in Canada and she related that the MRI had been scheduled some time in 2013. She mentioned, "Wait until the U.S. gets health care." I mention this to say …
How much would you pay for three months of life if you were dying of prostate cancer?
So the doctor says to the average patient, "The government rationing board has banned the drug that would treat your prostate cancer and extend your life by several months because it is too expensive.
