(NEW)  I am thrilled to read of your efforts on behalf of our prostate cancer screening. I have been living with prostate cancer for almost ten years now and on hormones for most of this time. We need your support not just for screening but also for those of us who could not have surgery and have to live in this cage of hormones until they will not work. It is the long haul which needs to awaken men in this nation. We hear so much about the PSA test and very little about the men living with metastatic prostate cancer. We need to wake up!! It is a battle call. As much as I support you I hope for you to extend your call to the men who need courage to continue the battle with advanced disease.

Thank you for sponsoring this bill for prostate cancer. My brother has early onset aggressive prostate cancer. Fortunately, his MD caught it early. He is fighting it daily and has survived 5 years. I appreciate all that you are doing for this terrible illness that may catch men unaware.

Thank you for getting more research on Prostate Cancer. I have so many male friends that have or had this problem. It distresses the whole family.

Please let the pharmaceutical companies' research activities solve the problem. Don't make them dependent on government bureaucrats and ideology. Sincerely,
Bill, Lomita

I applaud the Senator in moving to increase awareness of the killer of men that prostate cancer provides. I appreciate the move to add to the research for a test that more appropriately identifies whether prostate cancer is active. I am always cautious as to the cost to the tax payer that has to pay for research. I would hope this will not add to our extremely high and economic killer.
