The ways others react to news of your prostate cancer
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Aug 22 4:13pm | Replies (45)Comment receiving replies
I try to go with People mean well, but unless you go into great detail they can't understand what it means. I've also gotten comments of it's one of the "good" ones. In what world is any cancer a good one. I'll admit before my diagnosis I had no idea about prostate cancer and all the stages. Had never met anyone who had it. I try to take any comments as well wishes to me, some even make me laugh inside. Best to all.

I get this too . Some say "people never die from this one, if its caught early - YOUR LUCKY ! " . When I say " did you know more men die of prostate cancer then people die of Breast cancer but Prostate Cancer only gets about 2% of the funding " , their jaw hits the floor . They have no clue , but are generally well meaning. People these days have no clue about civics, current events, and Medical Corporations. No interest and no exposure to real information . Just got back from Bratislava, Athens, Cyprus and Budapest for 2 weeks of meetings ( then the train to Ukraine boarder) . they are much more informed there on the travesty of war , current events, and medical corporations . Amazing ! They know about Cancer, treatments and costs than we do here. Went to a dentist in Hungary . Very clean, excellent work , and friendly . Excellent job at 40% of the costs in Canada . My dentist in Canada said " best work I have ever seen on a simple crown replacement. " . The landscape for cancer treatments is changing so quick . Ever 3-5 years now its a new landscape ! God bless to all that read this , find your happiness and charity to others each day ! James on Vancouver Island . Canada .
