The Poojer Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 also happens to be a guy I worked with during my time at Circuit City, and a SUNY grad(Oswego, I believe). He is making a lot of headlines with his quest. I've been following his journey online for several years, it's very cool. Cancer sucks! http://www.today.com/news/dad-writes-daughter-826-notes-2D11999985

outsidethebox Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Damn allergies. These cancer stories hit to close to home. Find Damn cure already!!!!!
BuffaloBud Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Cool story. Great dad / man. Hope he beats it.
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Cancer sucks. About the prostate cancer... Can't they just remove the prostate? It is such a slow developing cancer. My father had it in his early 70's and he just wanted it out. I know the guy in this story is much younger. Wouldn't it be better to just remove it than live w/it? (I know, I know the effects... But still, there are work arounds). Here is to him getting better, all my prayers!

Coworker had to have a series of radiation treatments. All is good now with him.

All is good now with him. Yep. Thanks. Not sure what my father had done outside of removal. Again, he is older and just wanted the cancer (in this case the gland) out of his body.

Wacka Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Each type of cancer is basically a different disease. There is no one cancer cure. Different oncogenes get activated in different cancers.
