This seems very familiar for many reasons.

For me too - sounds like, from reports, his treatment will be similar to mine.

He's a good bit older than I was when I was diagnosed, and hormone suppression isn't exactly a barrel of laughs at any age.

The minute I saw Vance talking about this is the way he did I groaned that it immediately bundled up prostate cancer with Biden's dementia and would be then seem by some as a condition that should stop a person being or becoming President.

"Biden's dementia"?   

My understanding is that Biden has a speech impediment rather than dementia but that his opponents have taken opportunities to misrepresent its nature.

If anyone has dementia it is the 47th occupant of the presidency of the USA.

I agree. I don't think Biden has dementia, unlike Trump who is definitely not right in the head.

Yeah that's why the Dems got rid of him a speech impediment, that speech impediment that ruined the debate he had with Trump
