Wishes to him, his family, and the St. Johns community.
Most men die with, not of, prostate cancer.
Yea, as far as cancer goes this is among the more manageable. Still, thoughts and prayers.
Let's not make it seem like men should line up to have prostate cancer. While it is very curable in the early stages, the effects of treatment are not insignificant. You can pretty much plan on incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Not the worst things in the world, but no walk in the park. Give me thyroid cancer any day over prostate.
And I'll echo the above, my grandfather lost his battle to recurrent prostate cancer and it wasn't pretty.
My thoughts and prayers to the Lavin family.
Certainly. I didn't mean to make light of prostate cancer and apologize if it came across that I did. Serious stuff for sure.
