Steve,your advice concerning prostate cancer is so important for us who have been exposed to agent orange. I had mine removed about three yrs ago, it was 40% involved and that was with frequent PSA tests and biopsies, I took all the precautions and got my self educated on the subject. Later found the surgeon did not get it all even with wide margins, some evidently escaped the prostate. So then as you are going thru now the radiation treatment which still didn't get all. So now I have been monitoring for the last year, with the PSA reading going up again. Fortunately seems to be slow growing cancer, but not much more I can do other then Lupron shots every three months, doesn't cure it, but slows it down. I say all this only to enhance your stress on the important's of check ups, even doing what should be done is no quarentee. I as you was a volunteer for Vietnan back in 64, because I thought it was the right thing to do as my Dad (marine) and step Dad (Navy) had both served in WWII. Their are no good wars,but Nam hopefully has and will be a learning experience for our country. We lost some 58,000 young men and now still loosing old men from agent orange, it's a war that never ends for some of us. Best wishes to you Steve. Bruce LM#174
