90% of us (men) will certainly develope prostate cancer if we live to 80. quite sorry to hear it, yet it is the most treatable form of cancer there is.
Well despite not winning a ring he is right now the most effective owner in the city of Atlanta. He at least holds people accountable and tries to put a winner on the field.
Best wants for a fast and full recovery.
Best wants and good luck to Mr Blank from a Saints fan.
Feel for anyone that gets a cancer diagnosis due to the fact that regularly the doctors are truly simply making a ideal guess.
My Dad was diagnosed along with prostate cancer 10 years ago – he was 77 at the time. He dug in to the research available and found that there was evidence of over diagnoses. So he decided to forgo any sort of treatment (he was additionally told in the exact same week he called for a bypass – he went through along with that one).
10 years later he quite healthy and balanced and has actually no signs of any sort of complications from the prostate.
In the end he had to makes choices…along with the heart surgery they had tons of prior history and he was told his surgery had something adore a 97% victory rate. Whereas the cancer guys it was well this our ideal guess. They said it differently of course, yet it’s just what lots of cancer diagnoses are in reality.
Get well soon Mr. Blank. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Saints fan here that hates the Falcons & hopes they loose every game. yet I, & I’m the rest of the that Dat Nation hope, wish, & pray for only good points concerning Mr. Blank’s healthiness & personal affairs. God’s speed & a quick recovery.
The problem along with prostate cancer is it kills – 28,000 men a year in the U.S. The type many/most make late in life is commonly not aggressive, will certainly never ever leave the gland, and therefore not kill. For fofrenchy’s dad, energetic surveillance is/was probably the most effective treatment. We don’t have actually a marker to distinguish between aggressive cancer and the non-aggressive kind. As a 53 year-old, my decision was to be aggressive in treating it. We’re lacking the research! The NFL must be at the forefront in awareness and research – African American men are a lot more most likely to make this health problem compared to Caucasians. Yet Roger is a lot more concerned concerning selling pink Ray Rice jerseys. They like their women ($$). Yup.
Best wants Mr. Blank!
Sucks.
Always felt indifferent to the Falcons even as an NFC fan, hoping they gain the division for Mr. Blanks sake, and a lot more importantly I chance he has actually a excellent recovery and kicks it for good.
All the most effective to Mr Blank and Brett “The Hitman” Hart in their battles.
