re: Ryne Sandberg has been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer

The doc told me after the surgery that the cancer was about to start spreading and if I had waited a few more months, we would have been having a different conversation.

I was in the room with my dad post op when his urologist told him something similar. Thanks to early detection, my dad lived another 21 years post op, 19 of those without any chemo or radiation. In the end early detection was the difference between him dying as a young man vs dying as an old man. Prayers for Ryno. Doesn't even seem possible he is mid 60s.
