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!

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.
