Thanks to dr. Ming Zhou. He told me he wanted to help the community of PCa patients. I offered him some avenues. His column was one. I hope it helps.
Me, the Mother Teresa of Prostate Cancer? That's a new one? I like the imagery there.
I see there is a patron saint for cancer and liver cancer. But thus far nine for prostate cancer.
The patron saint of all cancer patients is Saint Peregrine Laziosi (1260 – 1345). Late in life, Saint Peregrine developed what was most likely skin cancer on his foot. The only “cure” was amputation. Before the operation, Peregrine saw a vision of Jesus who touched and healed his foot.
This website--https://discover.hubpages.com/religion-philosophy/Patron-Saints-of-Cancer-Patients-- looks for patron saints for cancers.
It covers saints for breast, liver, brain, testicular (close), bladder (close), cervical, uterine, lung, leukemia and more.
But the saint of prostate cancer, especially low-risk PCa?.
Bupkes, as Jesus might have said, if he spoke Yiddish rather than Aramaic.
The site says: "Prostate Cancer -- So far, I have not discovered a patron saint for prostate cancer patients. I will continue searching. However, I feel Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, and Saint Isidore the Farmer (c 1070 -1130) are ideal candidates for the time-being."
It figures. We don't the most attention for research and funding--even though we have the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the second most deadly.
Prostate cancer is common but as Rodney Dangerfield, a king, if not a saint. of comedy, put it: "We don't get no respect."
How different my walk with this cancer were it not for the commitment of a few to the well-being of all. Organizations like Zero with website hard to navigate best take notice of efforts of ANCAN, ASPI, PCRI, and on a day-to-day basis the "Mother Teresa" to us all and "best damn bang" for your buck, The Active Surveillor. Home run, Howard! Has your medical team ever broach subject of IDC? Second opinion takes on more importance, though odds very low.
Any one else told 'bout IDC by provider? Roger, Roger Dangerfield, oh lord, we need you; "Bupkes!"
Steve,
Never had anything on IDC before.
