I am a little disheartened here. Since when is prostrate cancer a joke? Is that what some laugh about ? In all my time [View all]

I have hit the alert key 3 times. I will not do so now. I am sorry I read it. My husband started his treatment for Malignant Prostate cancer this week. I am sorry for those who feel the need to laugh about how it is detected. A PSA of blood work is done. Thank your lucky stars you don't have it and you won't be going through what my husband and I are going through with this new journey in our life. Good night folks. Love to all.to the informed and not so informed.
