One person I talked with said that if a man lives long enough, he will get it.

I was caught early and was able to get radiation therapy for it. I had an uncle that wasn’t caught early and had a very bad time of it. I didn’t know how bad a time it was until a long time later. A very bad passing.

Getting it discovered early is a Very good thing.
