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?

Glad things didn't go as bad as they could've for her. Hope she's OK now.

Unfortunately it's the friend I mentioned in my last entry, so I only get news second-hand (in context, it seemed rather alarmist to use the past tense -- "I had a friend..."). But she was cancer-free before our relationship blew up, at least!

Sorry about the relationship, but glad she's doing better. It's kinda like divorce (harsh as it is) is no match for death.
