Work hard and save for retirement....the American dream!!
One of my best friends for many many years is an OB GYN and did just that. He stacked up a lot of cash, raised 3 great kids all "successful", married to the same woman the whole time, never smoked and planned for his retirement at age 70 for a life of leisure, travel and all that. So he quits his practice at 70 and shortly thereafter finds out he has prostate cancer. They gave him some new cancer drug which blew out his kidneys and he had a stroke, fell down and broke his hip. Now he's on dialysis every other day, in a wheel chair getting all kinds of therapies for whatever!! He's 72 and I'm 81. He told me I better stop smoking!! :-"

what the hell?

why didn't he just have the prostate plucked out, like most of us do? in the hospital one day, out the next. had his cancer metastasized?

DMW. I don't know why he didn't just get it plucked out. He's the doctor. I do know that many who go that route don't get off that easy. They're left impotent and pissing in their pants and then the cancer spreads. If I'm ever diagnosed with any kind of cancer, I won't do any thing until maybe when the pain gets too much some morphine or something. Fuck that cut, poison and burn scam the oncology industry does.

Ive told him about Mannatech many times over the years and how I never get sick. But like every western model medical medico and minion, he wouldn't believe. :-({|=
