As many of you who've been in the business know, I'm a (colon) cancer survivor too. Luckily, mine was caught at the very early stages (just had polyps) and I still get medical checkups every 6 months, but have had no recurrences yet. I got lucky that I didn;t have to go through chemo treatments. Cancer runs rampant in my family, I've lost my grandfather to prostate cancer and my cousin (4 years youngerthan me) lost a testical to testicular cancer.

I urge everyone to go out and get checked for for prostate cancer and just generally get a physical once per year.

prostock, I'm very sorry to hear of your illness. I was amazed at how keeping a very positive attitude was and the importance of keeping my family close. It's not easy to stay positive when are sick, but try to stay focused on any positives.

Ok, so, here is my one serious post for the year...
