I Can Now Relate to Hyman Roth

“This is the business we have chosen! I didn’t ask who gave the orders!”

I wish you the best Reverend. It’s one of those treatable cancers if caught early. I hope you feel better soon.

Nice Godfather 2 reference. I hear the little grunts Hyman would make at the end of each sentence. Good luck with your treatment. A friend just went thru it and he said the treatments were tough and left exhausted, but he got thru it and is back to his old self, working out, jogging, etc. Hang in there!

How did they catch it psa test?

Good luck and get well Godspeed to you Rev I won’t ask how they’re hanging

Keep a good attitude, recover quickly and live a long, happy, healthy lofe.

When you say, get yourself tested, what does that involve. My now-retired Dr. used to stick his finger up my ass and check if everything seemed copasetic. My new female Dr. doesn't do that -- says it's not necessary. I felt like saying, stick your finger up my ass, dammit!

Good to hear from you, Rev, under any circumstances. Your writing and humor and yarn spinning have been missed. PC is apparently a ‘when’ not an ‘if’ and because of when you caught it, you have every reason to be optimistic. Good reminder that it’s been a year since my last physical and test and I need to schedule. Best wishes and keep us posted. (You still owe us an epilogue on the crazy hot crazy neighbor story.)

Rev I'm new here but I wish you a speedy recovery.

rhb: Wishing you long and pain free flow in the shortest time frame possible!

Sounds like they caught it in time. Hang in there.

Loper, you made me lol! I humbley suggest a change in doctors.

God speed on a quick and complete recovery. I'm glad they caught it early.

I have known too many "healthy" people that hadn't seen a doctor in a decade or more because they were "fine" that finally went to a doctor when they started having some type of symptoms. For some of them it was too late by that point.

Good luck sir. Glad to hear they caught it early. A buddy of mine recently got the same news. But his has progressed considerably so he's going to have to go thru some pretty aggressive treatments. We have to enjoy our time on this Earth.

First, thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement. You have no idea what this means to me, coming from a gaggle of like-minded perverts and degenerates.

Fingers up the ass to check your prostate are a thing of the past. My condition was caught with a blood test.

I had no symptoms. Usually there are no symptoms in the early phases of prostate cancer. If you wait until you have symptoms, you’re taking a big health risk.

I haven’t posted much for a long while now. I’ve been busy. I retired from retirement and once again have more work than I know what to do with.

Later today I’m interviewing for more attorneys.

@Jimmy McNulty - I never finished the Amanda story because nothing ever happened. Her employer promoted her and made her the manager of one of their other offices. It is still in Houston but it’s over 50 miles from where she was living (around the corner and down the street from me).

So she wisely sold her home and moved about 50 miles closer to her new office.

It’s been almost 20 minutes since I tried to pee.

I’m gonna try again now.

Ah, I was hoping for a ‘happy ending’ to the Amanda story. Good to hear you’re in good spirits. Perversion soon to follow.

Best of luck on a speedy recovery, Rev.

Reverend

I hope you are are well and safe

Please take a look at this book:

barnesandnoble.com

overview:

“In 1973, we urologists had prostate cancer about right, no screening, no radiation, and no radical surgery.

All cancers discovered were assumed to be metastatic from the get-go.

If any treatment was necessary, it was systemic hormone deprivation.

But, ten years later (1983 - 1987) radical surgery was revived without new evidence; ultrasound probes were miniaturized to fit in the rectum; and the PSA blood test was described as capable of finding new cancers but as lacking the specificity required for screening.

The whole world screened anyway

Money poured into U.S. hospitals and faculty practice plans.”

In any case take good care of yourself and remember “you are what you eat”

“Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” ~ Hippocrates

We are all wishing the best for you reverend.

Sorry to hear of your situation, Rev. Best of luck as you go through this journey.

I've been through this too, though on a different path; I chose surgery. Know that recovery happens.

Get better Rev
