Cal Ripken Jr Article

I recall a major fight in here when this story first broke in the spring--about how he was rushed to treatment, blah blah. From the linked initial article, he was G7, so he needed to do something, and he made his treatment decision--good for him.

Any advocate is good--and a guy with a name is so, so valuable. And, let's see how fast the pee test gets wide acceptance.

Jay, yeah, that was there too. And just how many doctors, after surgery, tell patients "we got it all'--and then say, "see you in 3 months".

(and this applies to all cancers, not just PC--In the spring of 2004, my Dad completed a series of pinpoint radiation treatments for mets that showed up on his ureters. After the last session, the RO told him he was cured, and would die of something else. Less than 6 months later he was dead--of PC related spinal mets)

Yep, he's one of us now--and over time, the realization will arrive that no, no one is really ever cancer free.
