I grue My Stash in1965 and it's been hanging off my lip every sense. I'll not be shaving it off any time soon. I was diagnosed with prostate Cancer 4 1/2 years ago. I went through hormone treatments that eliminate all the testosterone in your body, you can guess what that dose to you. Can you say total impotence? that goes on once every 3 months for 3 years immediately after diagnoses they get you ready for the radiation. After haveing implants inserted through my rectum into my prostate, I began with a series of 45 radiation treatments one every day for 45 days. The radiation is not painful until the areas being treated begin to burn then it gets quite uncomfortable. After about the first 5 treatments my body began to loose all its strength. I felt like someone had kicked my A$#% real good. That goes on for the entire time of the treatment. Afterword my strength slowly began to come back. In My case I have still not regained all my vim and vigor. The cancer seems to have gone away, but I'm still getting checked every 6 months with PSA tests and the old finger wave. I don't recommend the way I've spent the last 4 1/2 years to anyone. I'm one of the lucky ones.

How does growing a moustache help fight prostate cancer?

It raises awareness, albeit not terribly efficiently.

The very word MOVEMBER sounds ridiculous. Growing a Moustache for only a month is hardly time enough to develop a dirty lip, much less a decent stache. I've been working on mine for nearly 50 years. The whole concept has a ridiculous ring to it. although the desired affect is a positive one, in that it has made all of us think about our health and one of the most common forms of cancer. Just being aware is a big part of the battle. Some of you younger (BOYS) have jokingly made comments like TWITCH-TWITCH and references to BROWN RIBBON'S but that's OK your not old enough to shave anyway. Just keep in mind, Cancer Kills
