When celebrities get prostate
cancer
If you pay any attention to the News Feeds about prostate cancer (like
I do) you’ve probably noticed that every time a celebrity is diagnosed with prostate cancer that’s all you can read
about.
Earlier this year it was Warren Buffett, at 85, being diagnosed and choosing
to get treated (at 85!). It’s likely he can afford it but there were all kinds
of articles and commentaries criticizing him for being too old for diagnosis and/or
treatment. I’m thinking it is HIS
choice. I sent him one of my books but haven’t received a thank you note yet.
How you doin’ Warren?
A couple of months ago it was Ryan O’Neal. It seemed that his stage and
treatment choices changed from day to day, but that was his story and he was
the story.
This week it’s Tommy Chong (of Cheech and Chong fame) being diagnosed
and touting his ‘cannabis cure’ treatment. For shame! Or, is it HIS choice? Or, is it any of OUR business? Maybe it’ll work and he’ll
be our hero, man.
We (that’s the all-inclusive
we) seem to have lots of opinions and ideas and strongly felt absolute
conclusions about how guys with prostate cancer (if they are famous) should
treat (or not treat) their prostate cancer. There must be better things for us to
do.
