Jeff Jarvis, author, journalism professor, and blogger, revealed that he has prostate cancer. He's already chronicled his treatment for heart arrhythmia, so we may get to see his unique take on his cancer treatment as well.
Apparently he was on Don Imus' radio show recently talking about his cancer. On his blog he joked that "one of the worst parts of getting prostate cancer is that I share an ailment with Don Imus when I'm a Stern fan."
He then mentions that Imus is treating his prostate cancer with peppers. "If Imus is seriously--and so publicly--spreading the notion that eating peppers will cure him," he wrote, "I fear it could jeopardize people who think that they can avoid diagnosis and treatment for a deadly--but curable--disease."
Well said, Jeff. Best of luck. We'll be reading.
