CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY 31, 2028
THIS IS A PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR MEN OVER 50. NORMALLY I DON’T LIKE TO SHARE PERSONAL THINGS, BUT THIS ISN’T JUST ABOUT ME. IT’S ABOUT MEN…ALL MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE.
I HAVE JUST FINISHED A REGIMEN OF TREATMENT FOR A CANCEROUS PROSTATE TUMOR. THE DOCTORS SAY THEY GOT IT ALL AND BECAUSE IT WAS DIAGNOSED EARLY, SO IT APPEARS I WILL CONTINUE TO ANNOY LIBERALS FOR A FEW MORE YEARS.
THIS FIGURE ASTOUNDED ME: ONE MAN DIES FROM PROSTATE CANCER APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15 MINUTES.
WHEN COMPARED TO ALL CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE U.S. (SUCH AS HEART DISEASE, STROKES, AND ALL CANCERS COMBINED, PROSTATE CANCER FALLS MUCH FURTHER DOWN THE OVERALL NATIONAL MORTALITY LIST, THOUGH IT REMAINS A MAJOR KILLER FOR MEN.
HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS. LIKE MANY OTHER AILMENTS — SUCH AS BREAST CANCER IN WOMEN, PROSTATE CANCER HAS A HIGH DEGREE OF CURE IF DETECTED EARLY, AS MINE WAS. SO, MEN OVER 50, GET YOUR PROSTATE CHECKED AT LEAST ANNUALLY, ALONG WITH YOUR PSA LEVELS. MY TREATMENT WAS MORE THAN TOLERABLE AND A CURE IS BETTER THAN ANY DISCOMFORT. WOMEN, IF YOU HAVE A MAN IN YOUR LIFE, URGE HIM TO GET CHECKED OUT. THEIR LIFE MAY DEPEND UPON IT. I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
