@dpayton D-pay , like you I like to see people very happy too . BUT , reality needs to be investigated and corrected , that means facing some very terrible numbers and situations. It is how society deals with its failures that determines its future success. And as you can see with men and boys in our culture we have a lot of work to do in changing the cultural milieu of the attitudes. Men are not toxic. That comes with the surprise to many of these days. Thanks for caring enough to write ! Good on you ! Be at peace and joy .

@dpayton I haven't watched (and won't watch) the video, but please be aware that there are people with political agendas who will exaggerate or misrepresent statistics for their own purposes.

Prostate cancer research is actually one of the best-funded of any cancer (in both Canada and the U.S.), but these people care only about exploiting us and our disease to score political points. We don't matter to them any more than accuracy does.

One indisputable point is that prostate cancer has become one of the very few cancers (along with some types of breast cancer) that's often survivable even at stage 4 now. That's partly a result of pharma companies' interest (lots of patients, so big potential market), and partly a result of the fact that research for both is extremely well funded compared to most other cancers. That's hard to argue with: I was diagnosed with stage 4 in 2021, but because of recent research discoveries, I'm still alive and in full (medically-induced) remission/N.E.D. heading into 2026, something that would have been unlikely 10-15 years ago.

Having cancer's never lucky, but if someone has to have some kind of stage-4 cancer, they're "lucky" if it's prostate cancer, because of all the treatment options we have thanks to decades of well-funded research.
