One thing I don't have to worry about...

is getting prostate cancer. I worry constantly about getting sick and needing medical care and eventually dying. It seems like things have changed a lot since Graem came along. Before I used to live my life day to day and never really thought about death for a minute.

Now I just want to make sure that I know her and Margot and that financially everything is taken care of before I die.

It's also been an eyeopener to see Margot's family and see the cancer that her father and relatives have.

Her father has prostate and colon cancer and right now he's being treated with chemo before going into surgery for removal.

BPH otherwise known as benign prostate hyperplasia is now being treated differently that it has been in the past.

InternationalHIFU.com offers a great website with information about albatherm and HIFU.

It's nice to know if you have prostate cancer that there are treatments out there that can help you gain your independence without being really invasive.

Hopefully, we are not too far from learning cures to other cancers without losing people around the world to death.

For the time being we just need to remain proactive and do our monthly checks and also our annual checks at the doctor's office. Plus, we need to be aware of our family history and really follow our guts when we think that there's something wrong with our bodies.
