The figure is only so low because a lot of men don't make it to be of an age to get prostate cancer.
Every man, should he live long enough, will get prostate cancer.

Apparently so. It was something our lass was taught in her training to be a care home assistant. I was shocked.
In 2008 the risk was estimated at 1 in 9 men being diagnosed, but as this was mostly made up of men being accidentally discovered to have it, they weren't aware at the tim eof how widespread it was. In reality it doesn't affect many men, but the mortality rates are still fairly high.
Gilly I don't understand what you are saying there? Sorry if I am being dumb. I don't understand how if 1 in 2 men get diagnosed with cancer, why don't half the people I know have it? I know "of" only about 3 or 4 people ever that have had cancer. I mean know of as in through family/friends and even they arenot people I personally know well.
Simply, they're not old enough.
If you live long enough you will get cancer. That's the sad fact.
Another fact is that the majority of men with prostate cancer don't know it.
But the line states "1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime".
That says that 1 in 2 men, in their time alive on earth, will be told that they actually have cancer. This I do not believe.

Look on the link i posted. The table half way down shows the chance of being diagnosed with different cancers within a lifetime. 1 in 9 for prostate and 1 in 50-100 for most of the others.
Well, you can disbelieve it if you want, but I think Cancer Research (where I believe the Movember guys get their ingo) might be in a better state to speak than some random
Have you done a straw poll of 75+ year olds?

I haven't intentionally joined this, but I shaved Sunday night and haven't got around to doing it since.
Considering carrying on for the laugh. Although I do get a weird gap in the middle of the tache, so it could end up a la Salvidor Dali

Consider me a part of this (unofficially)
will make a fun month, will update after a week of growth!I had independently heard the all men who live long enough will get prostate cancer fact, along with it being either the main or sole root cause for male death "by natural causes". Been doing my head for a while that I can't find a reliable source for it, so glad I'd not imagined it.
It all depends on whether you grow a moustache for Movemever 2011.
