One of my friends, 62yr Female, passed away 3 weeks ago (undergoing autopsy still) from either her heart or stroke. Vaxxed. My father just diagnosed yesterday with Prostate Cancer. I'm so devastated. This is NOT what I imagined WWG1WGA would be like.
FWIW prostate cancer is pretty common these days. And easily cured. Talk your dad into having his prostate removed rather than taking any radiation therapy. The worst part of having a prostate removed is losing control of your bladder and needing to wear pads for a up to a year. The radiation though can cause problems later on. Unfortunately, the radioactive seed technology also has a chance of failure where he would have an aggressive cancer return if any of the cancer in there is missed. Why take the chance? FWIW my husband went through this last year and ended up having his prostate removed. No way was he gonna go 6 weeks for daily radiation therapy and then still have irradiated seeds implanted. In the meantime, he was told not to allow any pets or children to sit on his lap for a month or so if he did the radiation therapy. How can that be safe?
Just as a side note, my father's radiation seed treatment was very successful. Stage 4 prostate cancer. He's been cancer-free now for nearly a decade. Everyone has to make their own choice based on their options.
