Your poor brother…he never had a chance. We, on the other hand, have many, many opportunities to put up some kind of fight and many times we actually win the battle.

Yes, his was a quick, cruel death. With me being diagnosed with prostate cancer 13 years ago, we thought that I might succumb first. When actually, with prostate cancer we usually win.

Of the top diagnosed cancers in men - pancreas, brain, esophagus, liver, lung, leukemia, colon, non-hodgkins lymphoma, oral, bladder, kidney, prostate, and skin, prostate cancer has the second lowest mortality rate.

In fact, the leading cause of men who have been treated for prostate cancer is cardiovascular disease.
