STILLS DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE CANCER

Rocker STEPHEN STILLS has been diagnosed with prostate cancer,
according to his CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH bandmate GRAHAM NASH. The 62-
year-old is set to undergo an operation on his birthday on 3 January
(08), after an early diagnosis of the disease potentially saved his
life. And Nash insists Stills is very lucky to have spotted the
condition, unlike late singing star Dan Fogelberg, who died on Sunday
(16Dec07) after a three-year battle with the disease. Nash tells U.S.
TV talk show host Larry King, "Unlike Danny (Fogelberg), who left it
too long to be seriously checked, Stephen found his at an early stage.
And he, I believe, is going to be operated on, on his birthday on
January 3rd."

This is so freaky, coming right after Dan Fogelberg, as I'm a musician
myself (as a hobby). I hope he makes out okay.
But it begs the question when a high profile person gets this dx,
presumably he will have immediate access to all the "best" treatment
options (money, distance, etc. not being an issue).....what procedure
will he opt for, compared to say, some on this group, who are
relegated to the nearest uro or VA doctor or whatever. I'm thinking
none of it seems to make much difference anyway.
Like so many have told me...pick a treatment that makes sense to you
and stick with it.
You can only do so much research before it all jumbles together.
The outcome seems to have a life of its own, regardless of the
tretament.

He's assumed room temperature. Perhaps you're thinking of Stills... or was
it Nash?

Dan had no choice for treatment. He was not diagnosed until he was
"advanced". He, like me and many other here, when dx'd with advanced
cancer, can only fight it with ADT and chemo.

You and Stills (or Nash) caught it early. Ergo, you have a choice. But,
there is no treatment choices open to the rich that are not open to any man
in America (slight assumption here). John Kerry also had the same options
and his wife is very rich. Merv Griffin is another who was extremely rich,
had the same options, but apparently poor physicians.

Yup. but you're past that now. You made your decision.

The more of this famous crowd we grew up getting DX'd and publically
coming out, the more folks will be scared into getting themselves checked
out.
