Prostate Cancer - Biggest Killer of Men in Ireland

[Shamrock Shore]

My dad has been in hospital the past few days having had an operation yesterday on the auld prostate. He's 78.

Hopefully he'll be back up on the bike before Christmas and be back on the sidelines for the O'Byrne Cup 2013.

Be careful out there.

I'm sure he will. I don't know him but on the basis that you carry his genes he must be a good one. Are you for the Horslips gig next weekend?

Was watchin the sopranos box-set last night while doing baby-feeds.

Tony is telling the psychiatrist how the prozac he is taking is causing erectile disfunction. The psychiatrist says that it may not be the prozac, and asks has he ever had a prostate examination. His reply:

"Prostate examination?, i wouldnt even let a guy wag his finger in my face!"

Cheers Dougal. He's been let out today and he's in good form so we are confident that there are a few more years left in him.

I hope your own Dad gets well over this. I alos hope he enjoyed Mrs Dougal's birthday party last weekend. Her sister was telling us all about it as she served up the tay after last Sunday's mass.

Horslips in Kerry? No can do. Too busy this time of the year.

some great posts on this very worrying problem. detection seems to be the problem. lads think some doc is gonna be touching them up. i'd say the enlarged prostate is very common once you get into you forties although i dont need to get up during the night. i definatly go more often during the day. i'd say a decent exercise regime is a help.
