"Oh, prostate cancer? That's the good one, right? They catch it early and you're golden."
Well, in a way this is true, but the amount of times someone has shared this sentiment with me is mind numbing. Like it's a compliment, but really kind a smack in the face.
Yes, Prostate cancer is curable if caught early. But it is also the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men and it's scary AF to get that diagnosis.
I had my prostate removed. So, they had to sow my bladder directly to my urethra (TMI, I know). But, 10% of men have permanent incontinence. Thank God I did not. But, that was scary AF.
I have to get my blood tested every six months and waiting for that result is scary AF.
I had to have a catheter in for a week and that was annoying AF.
I am thankful I am OK. Cancer sucks and is scary AF, even if it's "only" prostate cancer.

For those of you that know me know cancer awareness is close to my heart. For those that don’t, I lost my wife to breast cancer in 2020.

So basically California counts less than 50% of the vote on election night, stops counting while they “wait” for the “late mail in ballots” to arrive, and then just basically says “we’ll let you know in 7-14 business days who won”?
Is that how they do elections? Am I really getting that right?
