Prostate cancer is the most common cancer, other than skin cancers, in American men. The American Cancer Society estimates that during 2009 about 192,280 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. About 1 man in 6 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, but only 1 man in 35 will die of it. More than 2 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.
Sorry – I obsess about cancer since so many in my family have gotten it.[/quote]
Shit. You are completely right about prostate cancer… I was thinking of pancreatic cancer, which is the stat that I mentioned (which is very rare), which is on my brain because my mom died of it last year. I confused the “p” cancers. Pardon the mistake. Yes, prostate cancer is quite common.
