Men are different from women
Men are different from women. Yes, I've clued into this lately. You'd think that as a prostate cancer surgeon I would have known this a long time ago, and perhaps I have. But lately it's become so tangible, so palpable, as to give the distinction new meaning. You see, men, unlike women, cannot be roused to action by the mere suggestion of health. Unlike women, who put on sweat pants, don padded sneakers, and march to the cure and clog the streets of Miami, men prefer to pretend nothing is wrong. Prostate problems? No. Not here. We don't see any prostate problems. We go to the gym, we trim the fat off our bacon, we profess duty to health. But prostates? Don't even bother.

No kidding. Prostate cancer surgery scares the #@!# of out them because their willies are at risk.
And men are going to go on having the #@!# scared out of them until they stop "&%$ing about and decide to put the same amount of effort behind finding better treatments for prostate cancer as the Komen Foundation and others have behind finding better treatments for breast cancer!
Get off the couch and start making some noise, guys. There's nothing Congress is more scared of than 10,000 voting males asking them when they are going to fund prostate cacner research at the same level as breast cancer research!
