WTF else would he mean? Most prostate cancer is very treatable. Some moves so slow (especially in the elderly) that chances are you will die of something else first. ( I know this because they said that to my old man and the Doc was right.) Some is very aggressive. Sounds like Mr. Blank has the slow kind. Good for him.
with it in Dec 2015. Had it removed in April 2016; cancer free since.
There were other treatment options available to me but I chose surgery given my age, my health, the very early diagnosis and life expectancy. Many things to factor in when deciding what to do about it.

they do watch and wait for the most part, especially at moderate Gleeson scores. At my score, I was told that the data was a risk of 20% over the next 20 years which apparently is low risk. To me, 1 in 5 is not all that low a risk. If you're 70, then something happening in 20 years is worth waiting but when you're 50? Plus with a biopsy or two every year or so?
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013 at age 61.
I'm fine now, my PSA is basically zero and I don't have any lingering consequences (except that I shouldn't drink two cups of coffee before going into a meeting).
Cancer sucks, but they have prostate down so long as it's caught soon enough, which mine was. At the same time, a much younger buddy of mine died of ocular cancer, which is very rare and as to which the docs have no clue.
Hope he beats it.
Prays and well wishes are always welcome.

Umm, Giantology...Blank himself said the cancer was treatable. I think you misunderstood HoustonGiant and jumped his ass for nothing.

I hope he pulls through this, the NFL and world needs more people like Arthur Blank.

Best wishes to Art for a speedy recovery.
