Dear Judy,
My twin brother died a month ago. He had prostate cancer, and naturally I’m scared now about myself, even though we were not identicals. I am also devasted.
My wife of 4 years (2nd marriage for both) seems somewhat sympathetic, but not overly so. My buddies are like, okay so get on with your life.
No one [...]
Dear Judy,
The doorman at my building just had a bout with prostate cancer. Every time I exit or enter when he’s on duty, he replaces the usual “Have a nice day” with “Enjoy it while you can!”
Or, if I come back in from a jog, “It’s great you’re doing what you’re doing for your health.”

Dear Judy,
I feel so terrible, I don’t know where to turn. My friend of 10 years (we live together) has Stage III prostate cancer, which has spread. I know he will die. But I also know I wish he would die now.
Obviously, I’ve never shared any of this with him or anyone. It makes me [...]
Dear Judy,
I need advice and so I’m turning to you. I have a friend who’s dealing with terminal prostate cancer whom I’ve known for 10 years. He’s been updating me on his treatment which seemed manageable until he sent me an e-mail 2 months ago saying it had spread everywhere.
I’m meeting him for dinner in [...]
Dear Judy,
I don’t know if this is up your alley. One of the people in my church died recently. He was wealthy and had the best doctors but prostate cancer got him anyway in the end. He was also married, with 4 children, and slept with a number of women, including the church secretary. She [...]
Dear Judy,
I recently wrote a sympathy note and may have inadvertently offended the widow. I did mention that maybe the husband’s death was “a blessing in disguise” (he was in great pain before the end, with prostate cancer).
Was that wrong??
I felt the widow was very chilly to me when we met by chance yesterday – though I may [...]
Dear Judy,
My 50-year-old husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and has started treatment. Depending on how he responds, he can live from 5-15 years. The brakes have been put on us financially. Meaning my husband is trying to prevent me from buying a big house — and selling the condo I bought years ago.
I’m [...]
Dear Judy,
My husband and I divorced seven years ago. He miraculously managed to find a perfect new wife over a decade his junior just as the ink was drying. I just learned from our grown daughter, who used to be angry with him, that he has prostate cancer, and it isn’t the slow kind.
The problem is – our grown daughter. She and I [...]
Dear Judy,
I know you’re going to find this is really strange email, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway, and see if you’d answer.
I’ve always been afraid of dogs — a poodle, believe it or not, bit me when I was four or five, and that kind of ended any relationship I wanted [...]
Dear Judy,
My father is dying of a prostate cancer, which has metastasized faster than any member of his allegedly brilliant and ridiculously expensive medical team ever predicted or imagined. His favorite doctor recently indicated he might die in a matter of months, maybe a year. He also has a problem with his sugar levels. So it’s all a big mess, and the [...]
