I second that, catspaw: great thread.
I clicked on the pink ribbon. Glad to see that this site is donating to the cause.
In defence of intruding another form of cancer into this thread: It doesn't take away from the fight against breast cancer!

Having "returned" a testicle to the cosmos many years ago because of cancer, I am very aware of the terror, pain and long treatment period that breast cancer survivors undergo. The prostate though is an organ that doesn't have the same cachet or sexiness that breasts have...(I've never seen a pushup undie sold to display it!) My wife undergoes regular breast examinations, and she tells me it IS painful to be squished-so I can sympathize! On the other hand(my doctor's), it isn't pleasant to be buggered by a big finger every year at prostate checkup time!)
