A prostate cancer blog with a microphone….I don’t know where to begin..same ole same ole…..

And I so loved his movie and that he was singing " The day they drove old Dixie down."  Dana Jenning's family and the emotion that goes with all this prostate cancer stuff. I have been there.

prostate cancer early detection and awareness…..”can’t win for losing”

  The following article and ones like it were all over the place over the last week. Cancers may be more prevalent in relatives because they are tested more.  Isn't that what we wanted, I mean awareness and early detection?

Lockerbie bomber, prostate cancer, medical records, BP oil, bribes, congress demanding medical history, terrorists, possibly a purposeful missed diagnosis?…..the stuff novels are made of.

primer on androgen sensitivity and prostate cancer and the Lockerbie bomber….this is a post-decision issue.

Okay...a test question. What is happening here? Why is it they miss calculated the guy's life expectancy? This issue is not one to be worried about in the decision-making process but may be one down the road if the cancer returns after treatment or is in places other than the prostate (metastatic) at the time …

When it comes to your prostate cancer decision-don’t be angry and try to be “big”

 Will Rogers   I have a serpiginous  route to the Chattahoochee river from my home. I love it... my wife hates it and she hates being the passenger when I am driving on small " back roads."    My daughter told me in the car one time when we taking that the route that my incessant talking and my driving …

When it comes to prostate cancer decision making…It’s all about you!

Pt's often ask their doctor, " What would you do if you were me? or as it pertains to prostate cancer, "What would you recommend if I were your father?"
