Survival Mode

"Hunger, love, pain, fear, are some of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation" -Albert Einstein.

Pick any one of those walls on which to hang your survival hat.  I picked love. The love of my family.  The love I have for them that makes me want to be here for them, and the love from them that will not let me disappoint them by not doing the things to be here for them.

Men if you are indecisive about getting screened for prostate cancer and thereby increasing your chance of a longer life and better quality of health, I suggest you pick LOVE  too.  whether it is love of yourself or love of your family.

Doing so will get you out of the cross airs of prostate cancer and get you into survival mode, and on the path of self preservation.  This attitude and route could put a serious damper on the occurrence of prostate cancer. Truly this disease runs like a current beneath the ice; silently and deadly.  The truth is you might have already fallen beneath the ice and do not even realize it.  Unfortunately some of us will not realize it until it is too late.

One act of self preservation driven by the instinct of which Einstein talked about would be to go to the doctor.  This action saved my life.  Somewhere down the river under the ice I popped up at a breathing hole, by the action of going to the doctor.  Today I can live on with and for my wife and sons, by one simple action of going to the doctor one time for the year.

Amongst the things we appreciate once for the year is FATHER'S DAY.  If there is no father appreciatively there is no father's day. No father to love, no father to appreciate. because a man dies every nineteen minutes from prostate cancer and because one in six men will have the disease, and because it is the second largest cancer killer of men, second only to lung cancer,(latest statistics from American Cancer Society) maybe we should devise FATHERS HEALTH DAY.

call it FHD for short and get prominent figures to speak at its launching.  Get the TV cameras rolling and give prizes to the first ten men who have been to the doctor in the past year!  Who knows! maybe such an institution will assure more father-days, and more love to cherish.

    It was a long day in the belly of Prostate Cancer, but a rebirth to new life was granted to me.
