Yeah I know. Which is ironic because Mormons are almost always more religious than other Christians. I've heard of lapsed Catholics and liberal Protestants. I've never heard of a lapsed Mormon.

A TURP is generally very safe surgery lasting an hour, 4 days in the hospital and within a couple weeks normal activity can be resumed. It's quite common electable surgery.

You obviously don't have a clue. A TURP is not a radical prostetectomy, where the entire prostate is removed. It is a technically difficult and bloody operation. It analagous to equating open heart surgery with a coronary arteriogram.

You political analysis parallels your medical analysis as well.

So after Rudy's 'cure', what are his chances of the cancer flaring up again?

[Maynerd]

Since he is over six years out from treatment I would say very high but it does also depend on the initial grade of the carcinoma.

That's what I thought. Anything that was life-threatening enough to make him drop out of the Senate race in 2000 sounded like the kind of prostate cancer that comes back. Generally, in 5-10 years. At least, that what I've seen happen.

And McStain? Isn't it true he's had two bouts with melanoma? Man, that can't be good. I know skin cancer rarely kills unless caught too late. But I was under the impression that he was pretty late in getting diagnosed. And his age can't help in fighting off cancerous cells.

I'm not calling them dead men walking but I keep thinking about Paul Tsongas, telling us how healthy he was and parading around energetically in a Speedo [note to self: Speedos not a good look on middle-aged men].

FYI. A few remarks on candidate health here.

"such as his first marriage (later annulled) to his second cousin"

That is...just...yuck.

I bet it was annulled. Before they had two-headed babies.
