Cancer

He is fretting, perhaps only a little. I am not sure. He is losing weight. A pound a week. He thinks it might be cancer of the prostate. He might be wrong. He looks well. Is fit and active. He reads stuff on the internet, that doesn’t clarify but obfuscates. He doesn’t know what to do. He will see the doctor in a few weeks. I hope it eases his mind. Live, I suggest. Am I also listening?
