After my father's first treatment for prostrate cancer, he told me that if it came back he would not do anything except die before treatment as the treatment seemed to him to be worse than the cancer. 

I agree. I had radical prostatectomy and would never repeat if I could go back. They never tell the really bad side effects, and I had/ have some of them.

Had my op in 2006, and life has been <deleted> since.

To understand just how bad the op is, I had 5 months on sick leave after.

Both my parents died in their sleep.

Not yelling, screaming, crying and praying like the other people on the plane.

Parents aren't dead yet, but diabetes and heart disease is a factor. They almost died recently. 

 

My grandparents died of cancer and dementia.
