What can I say? Just these three words -
“You have cancer!” heard over a short phone call has changed the course of my life forever.

It is nuts!
I think, if Jerry Seinfeld had cancer, instead of his current Netflix series, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” he would be doing “Comedians with Cancer Getting Chemo!”

“You are nuts!”
Yes, that is exactly what I told my doc when he gave me the stage 4 news last week. Then he added, “In fact, your nuts are the main problem!”

I love nuts! Don’t get me wrong.
I am not allergic to them. It seems they are good for you. They have lots of good fats and protein. (By the way, this is just some info about nuts and has no connection to my story)

I turned 59 a few days ago; and all these years, I never really thought about, or paid any attention to my nuts until last week when my world was turned upside down. I thought, the pair was doing just fine leading a quiet life by hanging loose, lying low, and never wanting to see the day light. But now, suddenly, they are the center of attention. They are in the spotlight!
Never in my wildest dreams, I thought that, one day, I would be writing about them! Now, out of the blue, this group of people, who call themselves - “Medical Oncologists,” has emerged from nowhere( I never knew this group existed), and they are very boldly and confidently, pointing an accusing finger at my nuts!

To cut a long story short, I just got on the program! I took my first Bicalutamide pill yesterday. I’ll be getting a shot of Lupron injected into my buttocks next week. That little blob of Luprolide Acetate is going to stay under my skin, send signals to my brain and try to control my gonads! This will be for the rest of my life!

If I tell this to anyone outside of this group, I am sure they are going to say, “Only a nutty professor can concoct such an insane scheme.”

Well, I am not sure how many words one is allowed to write in a single post on this message board, but I may be testing the limits so I am going to stop.
If you don’t like what you have read so far, let me know and I’ll leave the group. You’ll never hear from me again. If you think this torture is nothing compared to the pain you all have already tolerated, I will continue my story next week.
