On the recordJune 10, 1994
June 10, 1994 just over 2 weeks ago, I had a very successful surgery for prostate cancer. My surgery was performed by Doctors David G. McLeod and Stephen Sihelnik and their highly skilled staff at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I thank them all for their dedication. This experience taught me just how important it is for all men over the age of 40 to be tested for prostate cancer. It is the most common cancer in American men. One out of every ten men will develop it at some time in his life. According to the American Cancer Society 200,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1994; 38,000 will die. I am now one of those 200,000. I was lucky. Though I had no symptoms indicating a problem, a simple, inexpensive test known as the prostate-specific antigen or PSA test showed that I needed additional testing. My prostate cancer was discovered early and successfully removed. I strongly urge other men to make the PSA part of their annual physical examinations.
