What to ask the oncologist

[muckefuck]

Here's what I've come up with. Anyone have other suggestions?

1. Everything I read says that the prostate is "about the size of a walnut". Does it also taste like a walnut?
2. One of the remedies is called a "radical prostatectomy". This sounds so 1987. Don't you offer an "eXXXtreme prostatectomy" yet?
3. Another remedy is call "cryosurgery". If you do this one, how far in advance do you need to defrost the cryosurgeon?
4. What are the three laws of robotic prostatectomies?
5. In "brachytherapy", radioactive seeds are implanted through the rectum wall. But how will these grow where the sun never shines?
6. How high does a Gleason score have to be before you get one POW! right in the kisser?

Feel free to forward it, uncredited or otherwise. Any little bit I can do to reduce the amount of suckage inherent in such business I'm happy to do.
