Don't listen too much what "news" anchors tell, they always sensationalize things to sound "interesting" and sometimes even tell stupid things that are not true.

Yesterday BBC anchor said that prostate cancer is the second most deadly cancer - he speed read somewhere that prostate cancer is the second most common disease in man that can cause death (the first is cardiovascular disease) and than wrongly made conclusion that it is the second most deadly cancer - could not be further from the truth !

Also, every single patient is different and has different outcomes no matter what the stage is. Every prostate specialist will confirm that. So just ignore news *hugs and keep your positive attitude since it is one of the most important things in fighting any disease and especially PC. Just do not watch news for some time or skip that segment.

The BBC got it directly from the National Cancer Institute https://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate

"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. Prostate cancer usually grows very slowly, and finding and treating it before symptoms occur may not improve men's health or help them live longer. Explore the links on this page to learn about prostate cancer treatment, prevention, screening, statistics, research, and more."

Thanks, surf, for the positivity.

It's just one of those things. Most days I feel good physically and mentally, and things are going well and I'm optimistic. Then, once in a while, I feel like OH CRAP! I've got cancer!

I also got back test results today of a new biopsy, and it's not good. And, the weather is stormy. And the squirrels are eating fruit from my trees.

I need to go to the gym and listen to some good music. And I will NOT listen to the news.
