All men are subject to the ravages of prostate cancer. There have been
many advances in the treatment.

6 years ago I was diagnosed and irradiated for prostate cancer. The
people and the doctor, at the Roger S. Goode Cancer Treatment Center,
in Porterville, Ca. were great. The cancer disappeared, unfortunately
to return. Radiation is a one-shot treatment and we had to find
something else.
I was exposed to the information on HIFU, High Intensity Focused
Ultra-sound. It is less invasive than a prostatectomy and is
repeatable. It isn’t a picnic and has some (minor) side-effects but
far fewer and less severe.
The USC (University of Southern California) hospital system is
expanding into satellite offices, even into Porterville.
While still going to the VA Hospital I had 2 general anesthetic
prostate biopsies. They were more labor-intensive and more
uncomfortable than the 2 locally anesthetized biopsies I had, first
(for diagnosis) at the office of our local USC affiliate, Dr. Virinder
Bhardwaj, then a more thorough one at USC, Keck Hospital, for
treatment planning.
From the beginning of my association with USC, with Dr. Bhardwaj, the
personnel have been professional, while being friendly and helpful.
This was all made possible by another VA program, for Vets who live
over 40 miles from the nearest clinic, which I do.
I am, now, 19 days post-procedure and the pain medication they
prescribed is un-touched. I have experienced NO internal pain, from
the procedure.
I had 8 cancers on my left lobe and still have 1 on my right lobe that
is classified as a “grade 4”, not “Stage 4”, which we are monitoring.
Having just spoken with a gentleman who just lost 2 friends (much
younger than I) to prostate cancer, I have to say FORGET ABOUT YOUR
AVERSION TO DOCTORS and invasive examinations. Get to a urologist,
have the exam & have a chance at a longer life. Cancer ain’t something
to fool around with!!!
Just as you either fix your car or take it to someone who can, so do
you need to maintain your body, or have your affairs in order, so your
family won’t be stuck with the problems.
On your FEET!!!

Heavenly Father, again, we seek Your blessings and protection and
thank You for the blessings You have given us. We ask You to be with
our guardians, wherever and however they serve and to guide us,
throughout our days. In all things I thank You and praise You and,
especially, I thank You for the Gift an Sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus
Christ, my Lord and Savior, in Whose Name I pray, HOOAAAHHH!!!
COVER!!! Dis-MISSED!!!
