I just heard about your situation last Friday Jerry. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have had four surgeries since Nov, 30th myself. My last one was a prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Now let me take this opportunity to give a bit of advice and a warning to all the guys out there please. I was told after my surgery that men over the age of 55, nation wide, that three out of ten would experence prostate cancer. 30%! If you are in that age bracket please go get a PSA test and be checked. Get better soon Jerry!

Sorry to hear that Jerry. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. Hope you are back at it soon.
 
Prayers on the way for your continued recovery and healing. I, too, am a survivor. +1 on elwestb's comment on getting checked out. Doods - just do it.
