I don't think so.
Yes, it’s really rare once you get above 50. Luckily they caught it early and the mortality rate is extremely low.Isn’t he mid 50’s?
I wouldn't say 8% of cases is really rare. Not as common as men 20 to 55 but 8% of all cases are in men 55+.Yes, it’s really rare once you get above 50. Luckily they caught it early and the mortality rate is extremely low.
Had it in 2002. It was quite advanced. Waiting another week to see a doctor, according to my oncologist, would've been fatal. If I wasn't as healthy and fit as I was, my prognosis would've been bad. But, the healthier you are the more they than can 'poison' you to kill the cancer. Mine had advanced to rule out other forms of treatment. Spent Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years in the emergency rooms due to the very 'odd' timing of tests and treatments. It's a cancer with a tremendous success rate. But if it does return (which, again, is unlikely) it can be devastating. Logarithmically, over time the chances of return diminish. Out side of one thing missing, life returned to normal. For Brian Piccolo it was fatal due to lack of treatment options in his time, but for Lance Armstrong it was conquered with only nausea as a side effect. For me, they even had the nausea under control. Oddly, apple fritters were both Lances and my solid choice of food during treatment. One lesson I learned (which no doubt people will have differing opinions) is that the outpouring of well-wishes was overwhelming. Not to be mean, but I'd have preferred a 'quieter' recovery period. But, hey, I was much more popular back then.Announced he has testicular cancer. Tough deal after his heart issues a few years back.
