Hehehe; I'll tell ya what. You BOTH have lived longer than most with this disease. In fact, I would bet dollars to doughnuts that you both even amazed your doctors with your longevity!I certainly appreciate you both, Alan Meyers, and others whose names escape at the moment, along with the giants of humanity with this insidious disease who have gone past the shore, for being so helpful and caring about the rest of us.

Thank you for your kind words, Dan, but I

think that there are many prostate cancer men who have lived as long or longer

than Chuck and I have – the number of men matching our survival years on

the Yana site grows every year. But those men have either not been diagnosed or

have simply got on with their lives so we don’t hear from them. Don’t

ever forget that despite all the dread warnings of the prostate cancer activists

less than 3% of the million plus men who die in the USA each year die from prostate

cancer. A greater percentage die in accidents. There is a 97% chance of dying

from something else- and those odds do not change much for the majority of men

diagnosed with the disease today.

There will always be a small number of men

diagnosed with the most aggressive forms of the disease, not matter what tests

are used. Techniques to manage those aggressive variants have improved over the

years but sadly those men may die earlier because they cannot be ‘cured’.

As Dr Whitmore said many years ago “Is cure necessary in those in whom it may be possible, and

is cure possible in those in whom it is necessary?”

All the best

Prostate men need enlightening, not

frightening
