Default Re: I made the paper with the Crossfire!

Congrats, Ron, for the great attitude and your success. Thirteen years ago, at 61 y.o., my prostate cancer was detected. Fortunately it had not spread, and most fortunately it (and my diligent wife) caused me to have more tests. Colonoscopy detected two large cancers and my dermatologist found three very large malignant melanomas on my back. Prostate came out. 80% of the colon went bye bye, and about a pound of meat came off the back. Chemo and radiation took care of any stray cells, and my wife gave me the positive attitude that we both know helped our sucess. Everyone over 50 reading this.......GET A PROSTATE TEST...Family medical history, which I generally ignored, may point the way to the need for a colonoscopy. All my cancers were "silent killers"....by the time you know you have a problem, you have a BIG problem.
