Hi Mike and batsam,

anger for me is misplaced emotions. I don't know how to deal with a lot of things, and powerlessness is a major one. Anger is my fallback and familiar emotion. Talking helps immensely. So does a support group.

I have been recently diagnosed with Gleason 3 +3 Prostrate Cancer. I went through an afternoon of self pity, not anger. I worked 2 full time jobs for 20 years in order to have some retirement money and now I have f-ing cancer.

But, prostrate cancer is among the most treatable. We are not powerless over it. There are medical advances every day to treat it. I also have a very supportive wife who is a 9 year cancer survivor.

An attitude of gratitude goes a long way.
