Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Enock,
I hope you have read that being overweight will result in poorer outcomes for PC. I know how hard it is to drop a few pounds but you really need to put your focus on that area right now. For many people getting a cancer diagnosis is a big motivator to improve their overall health and may result in them living longer than they would have otherwise.
Thank you, Frank, for your comments. I know what you say is true. From diagnosis on June 30th to surgery on October 2nd, I lost approximately thirty pounds. I am continuing with the diet and have not varied even while recovering. I am hopeful that this will finally be the time that I take it off and keep it off.
