Academy Award winning actor Robert De Niro, 60, has been diagnosed
with prostate cancer, but his prospects for a full recovery are good,
his publicist says. " "Doctors say the condition was detected at an
early stage because of regular checkups," publicist Stan Rosenfield
told Reuters. "Because of the early detection and his excellent
physical condition, doctors project a full recovery."...

He's such a well known community leader and activist, that we can only
think that this will cause an even greater awareness among the world, which
is always a good thing.

This is getting downright trendy.
On a serious note: Yes, this will add more awareness to the subject which
is good.

Its just too bad that he has decided not to speak about the type of
treatment he will have -- a great opportunity to make other men aware
of this disease and the importnace of regular blood tests. I was
talking to a friend the other day who is aware of PC but has never had
a PSA test. He is 58 and knows "he should do it" -- but does not due
to inertia or the fear of finding something. Maybe deNiro could have
a positive effect on such people.

My guess is that once he's recovering, he'll be quite visable. He's a
very quiet and private guy to begin with.

On tonight's "E-Entertainment Television" Show they said He would be having
Surgery sometime after Thanksgiving.
Didn't say what kind. I'm sure the Entertaiment News people will not leave
him alone. And we'll find out what, etc.
