"Rudy's father died of prostate cancer at an early age. It would have been not only FOOLHARDY, but ridiculous, for him to have ignored it! Not ALL prostate cancers are slow moving."

So what's involved?

You get your prostate removed and take Viagra, or you get a radioactive thingie inserted. Takes 6 hours.

Why drop out of a race for senator for that, unless you are a looser...

You make it seem so simple, it's not. Some prostate cancers attack the body at a high rate and spread like wildfire. The surgery and after surgery treatment have to be very aggressive and can put you at deaths door. I've watched many go through it and it ain't easy, quick, or fun, and still some won't make it two years.

You know NOTHING at all about prostate cancer. Do you even get a yearly blood test?

Most good surgeons, today, who specialize in this area, are so skilled that there is no need to take Viagra and there is also no incontinence.

Rudy chose to go the "seeds" route. That is NOT a one time thing; it's a SERIES of implantation/visits. It's like chemo and causes weakness, nausea, and some incapacitation.

Did you want Rudy flying all over N.Y. state and debating Hillary, in such a state? Wouldn't it have been a laugh riot, to see Rudy vomit or collapse on stage? /s

It would behoove you to NOT talk about things you know nothing at all about and look like a fool.

Guess what - Rudy doesn't think like you! Thank God he has his priorities in order. Seems like you are for national healthcare, also, saying everyone should do it "your way" or they are a looser.
