3. Merv, I had recurring prostate cancer in 2005, and went to Loma Linda Univ Med. Ctr. for 8 1/2 weeks, only 2 minutes a day, felt fine the whole time; there are not the usual side effects of regular radiation, like damage to nearby organs, etc. You owe it to yourself to check it out even though Cedars-Sinai is very good. Go to www. llumc.edu.com . They are great!! Please do it; myPSA has been 0.03, almost undetectable for over a year and a half now. Jim

4. Merv has been a great inspiration and watching his show made me go into TV and radio in the subject of gardening. Merv you are the absolute best and I admire you greatly. God Bless, Robert Vincent Sims

7. I am curious as to Merv Griffin's initial treatment. Did he have a radical prostectomy, radiation or something else.

8. This is the fallacy of doctors everywhere. They don’t call you for long term follow-ups after initial treatment success. Same happened to Senator Edwards’s wife - she never had long term follow-ups, and caught her recurrence way too late. Reoccurrence can happen anytime from several months later to several years. One person I know had a recurrence 10 years later. Fortunately, he was doing follow-ups during that entire 10 year time and caught it early, and treated it successfully again.

9. My husband just completed his prostate cancer treatments at Loma Linda Hospital too. Protons!! The hospital is amazing and we too highly recommend Proton Treatments for Prostate Cancer. I also was wondering what kind of radiation treatment Merv Griffin had?
