He died of complications of Prostate cancer which he had been battling for 4 years. He died at home, here in Portland Or. I had no idea he lived here.

I've also had cancer.
Think of some terrible medical complication and except for an amputation which I have narrowly avoided, I've probably had it.
Holy cow they've got a blood test for prostate cancer and I now longer have to scream like a baby shortly after the doc puts on his rubber gloves.

I'm a tough old buzzard. Yet my wife has shed many a tear while I've been in a fire truck or ambulance racing for the hospital or in the E-room or the ICU. I'm back with God and ready to go whenever he calls me although my wife has placed me on the absolutely needed list. She and I are in the same church and know how to pray. Also, I have an amazing primary care provider, dialysis doctor who trained under him, past dialysis doctor who is also amazing and an endocrinologist who is probably at a genius level (personal friend of doctor Fauci). I've been blessed with remarkable spousal, medical and spiritual care. I'm a lucky man and blessed with the time in here. You people make me work my brain and that has been great.

Sounds like you are in a lot of good hands. Your wife sounds like such an amazing and strong woman and you are lucky to have her.
 
He won Academy Award for Kiss of the Spider Woman but that movie is never on TV, not even HBO. I guess gays and political prisoners don't play well with some audiences.

Gentlemen, please be diligent in getting PSA test. If there is history in the family they will start testing at 40 or sooner.
It was 10 years ago I was diagnosed with it, I was 62. Doc gave me three option 1) do nothing and watch it 2) rad treatment can be effective but collateral damage can happen as well and the cancer can come back 3) remove the prostate before it spreads. They leave the good time nerves in place.
I didn't want to do it but I chose 3 and glad i did.
I have 3 sons and 3 son in-laws 4 are forty and over and are being tested regularly.

Absolutely, as well as regular (as prescribed) colonoscopies.

What's the down side of option 3?

Bout to hit 40 in a couple years. Will have to get that tested soon I guess.
 
One of my coworkers recently had a colonoscopy. I wouldn't have known that except he put the event on his calendar for everyone to see for some reason.

My VA gastroenterologist after my last colonoscopy said the VA would do no more colonoscopies on me because of my age. I call bullshit.
