My Prostate Cancer Operation - A Personal Diary
This is a personal account of my battle so far with prostate cancer. My name is Christian Nordqvist, 53, Editor of Medical News Today. On 26th of March, 2009, I underwent a radical prostatectomy - in other words, I had my prostate taken out. A biopsy had detected cancerous tissue in the prostate. Before that, a routine check-up had revealed higher than normal levels of PSA in my blood. After discussing various options with my urologist, we decided that radical prostatectomy was best for me.

Thomas Frieden famously told the Financial Times that "when anyone dies at an early age from a preventable cause in New York City, it"s my fault." What constitutes a "preventable cause" for Frieden? Essentially any behavior that he personally disapproves of, including: eating salty or fatty foods, "insufficient" breast-feeding, and using birth control that isn"t city-approved.
