Since we're thanking folks, thanks Jeff for being a reader and a paid subscriber. I whine about paid subscriptions. But, unfotunately, readers may not realize that I put actual work into writing this newsletter. I forego better-paying gigs to provide this information on PCa, which you may not see anywhere else. That's my public TV-style plea for paid subsciptions to help me ty to break even. Sorry. Return to your regular programming.
Great information on biopsies, Howard. Thanks. It’s certainly not an exact science, as we found out after having samples read by 4 different pathologists at 4 different institutions before 2 reports agreed.
On young men affected, metastatic prostate cancer claimed my brother’s stepson, a wonderful young man, at age 36. Please read: Jeremy Brandon Paster
He wasn’t diagnosed until he was suffering from back pain from all the mets. His mom became a board member of Zero after his death to advocate for earlier routine testing.
This is yet another greatly helpful expertly-written publication from you, Howard. Ming's insights and knowledge have been a tremendous blessing to Keith Day and myself. Thank you for The Active Surveillor and the encouragement it has provided us both as well so many other men!
Thanks, Charles. To be clear, I was smart enough to recruit Dr. Ming Zhou as an expert columnist. He wrote the column. I only edited it. We have some expert columnists here, including Dr. Stacy Loeb on lifestyle, Dr. Michael Leapman on urology, and Dr. Antonio Westphalen on radiology.
Thank you Dr. Zhou for writing this article, looking forward to Part 2. And thank you Howard for "The Active Surveillor"!

Howard,
The subscription price is well worth it when you consider the information you provide!
Thanks, Jeff.

Thanks, Nancy, Sorry to hear about Jeremy. So young. I am moderating a program next Saturday for ASPI on prostate cancer in young men.
I already signed up for the program 😉
