My father has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is 84 years old in otherwise good health. I think that it must have been caught in the early stages as my parents are very careful with their health and have frequent checkups. I haven't heard what their plan of action will be. As I said, he is in otherwise good health, but he has been failing a bit, losing strength, etc.
It's nice to just say it without having to mince words or put a "good face" on it. Thanks.
