But prostate cancer is one of the few cancers that can be detected early enough to do something about it.

I thought 'why the hell not? It may happen to any one of you in the end.'<BR/><BR/>Good for you for writing about it. Men (and ok, women too) can be so good at sticking their heads in he sand. I've learned through blogging that one person can read a post and tell another, who tells another, and it can change that persons life.
