waiting on the biopsy report about melanoma….prostate cancer deja vu all over again

Okay...you get over the age of 50 and all of a sudden all of these weird skin spots start coming up all over your body and particularly your face. The sun exposed places, the disease of farmers. Looming in the background is the "M" word...melanoma. My wife posed an interesting question a few weeks ago, …

anything new in prostate cancer …. not really…same ole same ole…$2034.34 was how much it cost to fix the pos white

I went to a funeral yesterday and learned that the accident that led to the passing away of the person was complicated by a GMC brand car's air bag not deploying. My wife is a bit flummoxed by my getting the white van fixed. "Its got an air bag," I say. "The van is  over …

Prostate cancer treatments: Robotic vs. open prostatectomy? A new car vs. one that is old (and paid for) but works and gets you from point A to point B. A foreboding of healthcare to come?

What band and what album...Rolling Stone Magazine....the number one album of all time. This van thing and the "get a new car dad" thing is getting to be a bit much.  A new Ford F150 is about 32,000 and a used car comes with as they say, "someone else's problems." I can get the POS …

Prostate cancer the Rodney Dangerfield of Cancers and Louis Prima’s Gigolos- Don’t nobody care for me

The decision of the USPTF (or whatever the hell the letters of this little government group of nonclinical doctors  who will decide who will get treatment for prostate cancer-it is not going to be good my friend) in saying that the government will not pay for a prostate cancer screening and PSA's is a slap …

How the urologist is like a car salesman when it comes to prostate cancer decision making. There’s an art to both professions.

  What a week. Monday morning and off to work in my wife’s old 96 Chrysler van that I have been driving for about 10 years or so because she didn’t want it any more. It made a loud sound when you turned the steering wheel, which I admit was a bit obnoxious, and she …

Happy Birthday Jennie Cooper! The photo of The Beatles crossing Abbey Road taken on August 8th 1969. No Beatle has prostate cancer…yet.

Abbey Road Live Cam-I am mesmerized by this.   My wife and our three children were visiting my mother and grandmother one holiday at my childhood home at 103 N.

Big Baby Girl selected for Hall County Georgia 2013 Calendar-Louis Prima and what? Prostate cancer.

Collectively we have five dogs and I sent in about 20 pictures in hopes that one would be chosen for the Hall County Humane Society's 2013 calendar. The way I sized it up they probably would not choose Penelope because she won in 2011. Then there was Bella and Brother both rescued dogs and each …
