According to the I-Man the diagnosis is Stage II Prostate Cancer. Not the result of common causes such as diet, since Imus has been on a cancer preventing health diet for over 10 years. According to Imus it could have been caused by stress brought on by Les Moonves or Phil Griffin or that “fat pig Al Sharpton”.
Prostate Cancer WIKI|Here
God Bless Imus.
This is just too depressing, I know this is beatable.
Don Imus has shared with his listeners that he’s been diagnosed with stage 2 prostate cancer, and he says “the prognosis couldn’t be better”.
“Don appreciates the good wishes he’s already received from his listeners and viewers. After years at the Imus Ranch surrounded by inspirational children battling cancer, Don is well-prepared to fight this. And no, this does not make him eligible for the kids’ rodeo competition.” – Matthew Hiltzik, Imus’ spokesman.
Here is his complete statement from “Imus in the Morning”
http://www.wabcradio.com/Article.asp?id=1218802
This is from Neil Best of Watchdog.
Don Imus announced on his WABC program Monday morning that he has Stage 2 prostate cancer, with an encouraging prognosis. Get well soon.

The I-Man called Al Sharpton a fat pig? He’s BACK!!!!! The I-Man will BEAT this cancer!!!!!
Imus absolutely called him the “fat pig Al Sharpton”
I was just thinking……………..All of us need to stick together for the I-Man. Those who have been there for him since April 2007 and newbies. Especially for these dummies who want to kick him while he is down! 😦
What is the name of the new Radio affiliate in Fargo, North Dakota?
Ree,
You will get it on my audio presentation. I cannot remember at this time since I am still splitting the 4 hours.
Thanks Bruce
KOLX 106.1 FM Fargo North Dakota.
Actually KQLX.. I think in Lisbon, ND. Will double check later.
I now know it’s KQLX in North Dakota.
Their website shows it.
http://www.kqlx.com/
It’s the Farm & Information Radio Station.
Imus mis-read the Q for an O.
People are writing some nice things about Imus over at the NYT…
Don Imus Says He Has Prostate Cancer
By Dave Itzkoff NYT Click|Here
X-FAV
Which reminds me, Imus is looking for the Doc who will give him a “Wiener Warranty”!
Thank you Bruce I found it and bookmarked it, now where is Bo?
“Imus is looking for the Doc who will give him a “Wiener Warranty”!
_________________________________________________
Lol…now, even with all his wealth, he’ll be hard pressed to find one. 😉
Seeing as he has (legendary) 3 testicles…maybe that is what put the ” stress” on his prostate, rather than the “fat pig Sharpton” and others…
…or the incredible inedible crap Deirdre has forced him to eat these past 10 years.
Stage 2, meaning it hasn’t spread outside the prostate…
…could mean many treatments…including doing nothing at all.
At his age, he could die of many other things… other than what condition he currently is diagnosed with.
All depends on what HE wants to do, and how he and the “experts” care to address the situation.
In any case, God speed to the Iman…and best wishes.
Yeah Donald what he has is no big deal, especially at age 67. You’re much more likely to die with it than from it. But, I’m sure we’ll hear about ad nauseum for quite awhile.
No doubt, we will now know more about the I-Prostrate then we ever thought we would or wanted to.
Good point about the “tres testículo” and the crap he’s been eating.
“Give me steak or give me death!”
Ski & Chanx…
Our comments and agreements, would probably observed by many as a Tri Fecta from hell….LOL.
God Speed to the Iman, in what manner he chooses.
Please, for Gods’ sake Deirdre, let the poor bastard LIVE…will ya?
“Give me steak or give me death!”…indeed! And…an Ale with that steak….PLEASE!
Okay my husband just weighed in on the Wiener Warranty…he said, they make a pump, no I didn’t want to know the details but I got a description…something about installing a pump, and pumping it up when you need it, and not when you don’t…pulease. This is the kind of thing you expect from a mechanic – just install non stock equipment 🙂 So an I Pump huh? I guess that would be plan P?
Imus was born on July 23, 1940. He is 68. Been corrected on that many times.
Always thought this garbage he has been eating was not nutritious at all. A little animal fat is not bad at all.
I am 59. My “Wiener” doesn’t respond much any longer, but my PSA is fine. TMI I know.
Who cares…Life goes on and you can find another release by satisfying your partner. Diana is doing fine.
Anyway, I pray for the I-Man that he finally get’s the drift that eating Tofu, greens and non-animal fat is not necessarily healthy.
Last week I know he was on his Vicodin. He acted strange. That was the stress he felt. The only thing I hope he doesn’t do is go back on the booz!. That will not help him at all.
God Bless Imus. He needs our help and we shall give it to him.
Ski, The casual observer may not understand how much respect we have for each others opinions, as wacky as they may be!
Ree, I’m sure the I-Man will get the biggest baddest pump on the market, which he will of course claim to purchase at bust out retail. Imus will then go on to promote the I-Pump endlessly along with Deirdre’s testimony, but only after receiving financial consideration for the Imus Ranch.
One more note, Governor Corzine (D) of New Jersey is proposing to stop the state Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) and Senior Gold programs from paying for erectile dysfunction drugs, like Viagra. No word on pumps yet, stand-by.
“Ski, The casual observer may not understand how much respect we have for each others opinions, as wacky as they may be!”
X, I have no idea what you’re referring to.
Ski Wolf,
We have had our words in the past. I believe what Channel XRFR was saying we respect each others opinions even if we don’t totally agree.
Know I have had words with most everyone here. And still they are my internet pals.
Our group may be interested in Stage 2 Prostate Cancer.
Most Men die for other causes before Stage 2 Prostate Cancer kills them.

My question was to X, Bruce. If I have a question for you, which I won’t, I’ll direct it to you.
Nothing like a good b-slap for a wake-up call……..
Good morning merry sunshine

I guess “Freedom of Speech” is only for those that regularly post on this site.
If you feel I said something wrong Ski Wolf say so. Don’t beat around the bush.
Somehow I have difficulty equating “Freedom of Speech” issues with sticking your dumbass nose into other peoples business.
But, hey that’s just me I guess.
“Other Peoples Business”
Guess you haven’t heard of communication. “It’s a word”
LOL – Speaking of words….. I believe the one I loved most from X was ——- “TOOL”.

Several definitions can be found on this link. Take your pick as they all apply.
Tool as in?

Thanks Ski you have given a whole new meaning to it.Maybe you should consider running for office. Or maybe just running. LOL
Let’s not turn Imus Times into Imus Truth. This is where true people that speak, without disparaging others.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
“Dammit Jim, I’m a doctor… but not Dr. Phil” 😉
LMAO Bruce. You’re the most guilty on ImusTruth of disparaging anyone who disagrees with your comments. The suggestion would be for you to stay over there. Thanks.
“AIG also claims that retention of individuals at Financial Products was vital to unwinding the subsidiary’s business,” Cuomo wrote. But AIG has been unwilling to provide their names, despite his subpoena for the list, making it impossible to test that claim, Cuomo said. He said his office will do “everything necessary” to get the information.”
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/090317/aig_cuomo.html
_________________________________________________
Yeah. I hope Cuomo does, in fact, do what he says he is going to do.
Yet…this is a two edged sword…
The real story here is…these very bastards in AIG Financial Products Division were the very people that used these “computer programs” to “slice and dice” the very same “toxic assets” to augment their corporation, and wound up destroying about 7.5 Trillion dollars in wealth globally.
Here is the real kicker:
They ARE the ONLY ones that can untangle, and find out where all these “financial mortgage contracts” were originally owned and issued by, and who owns what, who owes who, and they are between a rock, and one hell of a hard place.
My guess is… they will never be able to do it.

Donald,
11 of the 73 who received $1 Million Dollar bonuses are not even working for them any longer.
Hope Obama taxes them 98 percent.
And Ski Wolf…. Take a hike…. You are worse than the people on Imus Truth.
Also Mr. Ski Wolf,
I will post here until I am banned. You don’t know what you are talking about.
It’s time you and I take a rest and just stop this back and forth slamming of each other.
When you get the guts to post something sensible, with true information I shall wait.
Until then just please remain silent. I will do the same. Good Night!
In a humorous way, “nuance” is not a concept Bruce comprehends.
Speaking of nuance, bonus babies at AIG are responsible for multiple transactions worth Billions and Billions of $$$$ on a daily basis. It would be nothing to overlook a million dollar error here and there, after all it’s not even a rounding error.
Obama taxes them 98%, the bonus babies will get even, no one will be the wiser.
Hey one more thing, the media has been disparaging counter parties for collecting billions. Bonus babies advising the counter parties will wreak havoc with former employees. Those $1M dollar bonuses will look like chump change when it’s all over.
“And Ski Wolf…. Take a hike…. You are worse than the people on Imus Truth.

I do love it when people make themselves looks like a fool with just a little help. Of course, with Bruce it’s like taking candy from a baby.
Anyone watch The Office? Remind you of anyone?
I see Channel,
Open the door and let Ski attack me. Ski in my opinion is a person with very thin skin where as you are more direct but in an indirect way.
You wonder why no one posts on Imus Times. This is why.
And Skiwolf thinks he has your complete support? Funny! He hasn’t seen the other side of you, but I have. I do not have time to be subtle as your reference to Nuance was meant to infer. I make one comment supporting you and SkiWolf who hasn’t posted in awhile takes off with a wild hair up his butt.
Sorry ChannelXRFR. I don’t bow down to anyone. Especially SkiWolf. He is a nothing in my eyes.
What Quinn’s budget may cost you
Governor: Proposed increases are vital to Illinois’ financial rebound

SPRINGFIELD — After weeks of warning that pain is coming, new Gov. Pat Quinn on Wednesday will ask taxpayers to dig deep, calling for the largest income tax hike in 40 years and fee increases for car owners.

Let’s drop it Channel,
It’s over, OK?
My previous link didn’t work – can anyone help with instructions? X? Bruce?
Now lets see. I ask an innocent question of X of clarification. A question that was nothing more and nothing less than a question. I did not understand his point. Simple as that.
Bruce, of course, feels the need to answer a question posed to someone else because well……. he’s Bruce.
This then morphs into the normal Bruce rantings and completely incoherent sentences about God knows what.
Done with this now. Although it was amusing for a short bit of time.
It looks as though Channel corrected it. Your link works now Alison.

Sorry I can’t change my attitude when mentioned in a statement.

Craig Crawford posted the link, when he was going over his how to make a good comment post 🙂
Here is the link to make tiny urls

From the link above, who is trying to gin up controversy? I guess the rumors are true Steve is a sissy boy 🙂
“I heard that Imus’ spokesman tried to characterize this as an ‘obvious joke’ on Imus’ part. That’s pathetic,” said Severin’s agent and attorney, George Tobia.
Ski, isn’t nice to know some things (people) never change?
Imus is coming to a point of view… Obama does not know what he is doing. Have to ask the obvious question, what in Obama’s past would indicate that he knows anything about being president?
It’s always interesting to see where people retreat to when things are not going their way. In Obama’s case he whistle stops the country, jumps behind teleprompters, rubs shoulders with celebraties and throws parties.
Note to George Tobia; Your client doesn’t get Imus, that’s why he no longer appears on the program! Go Away
Thanks everyone for the link help.
Allison, ThanX for the link

Hat Tip To Alison
Note to Imus, it isn’t a Gun, it is a Side Arm. Imus had to have learned this in the Marines. “This Is My Weapon, This Is My Gun, This One Is For Shooting, And This One Is For Fun” I guess Jay “Steve” Severin wasn’t having fun? Well Imus is fond of telling people “I’m Not Happy, Till You’re Not Happy” Looks like Imus still has lead in his Pencil GRIN.

Obama blasts AIG bonuses, admits ‘buck stops with me’
From Ed Hornick
CNN Update 28 minutes ago.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Obama said Wednesday that no one in his administration had been responsible for supervising ailing insurance giant AIG but that ultimately, the buck stops with him.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/18/obama.economy/
========================
That first paragraph is actually saying, It’s the President Bush Administrations fault
What else would we expect?
“Dr. Peter B. Bach, a physician and epidemiologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, says one way to think of the data is to suppose he has a PSA test today. It leads to a biopsy that reveals he has prostate cancer, and he is treated for it. There is a one in 50 chance that, in 2019 or later, he will be spared death from a cancer that would otherwise have killed him. And there is a 49 in 50 chance that he will have been treated unnecessarily for a cancer that was never a threat to his life or health.
Prostate cancer treatment can result in impotence and incontinence when surgery is used to destroy the prostate, and painful defecation or chronic diarrhea when the treatment is radiation. ”
Well, good luck…Iman.
Just saw that on the news Donald,
Interesting information for the I-Man. Think that is why he going to California for a second opinion.
At 8PM this just came in from CNN.
— Actress Natasha Richardson has died after suffering injuries in a ski accident, according to a family statement.
What you’re missing here Donald are forms of Prostate Cancer that are much more aggressive and invasive than what Imus has. I’d be interested to learn what his “Gleason Score” is. Probably not more than in the 4-6 range. The 8-10 range gets a bit scary. The score gauges how aggressive the cancer is.
Prostate Cancer can be much more serious depending on variables like your PSA, Gleason Score and Staging. Certainly what Imus has at his age is probably no big deal. However, 30,000 men die a year FROM prostate cancer and not just with it.
The really nasty thing about Prostate Cancer is that when it moves it normally turns into Bone Cancer which is a very painful and horrible way to go. That is why Imus mentioned he had a complete Bone Scan. First thing they do. The other thing is a test for bladder cancer which occurs in about 5% of men with prostate cancer. Nasty little test that involves a little camera up the….. never mind.
Anyhow, new surgical techniques and more specialized targeted radiation treatments ( IMRT ) have made significant gains in reducing impotence problems. Studies show that an immediate dosage of Viagra after either surgery or radiation helps quite a bit.
Another form of treatment is hormone therapy which is usually reserved for advanced cases. Prostate Cancer is highly dependent on hormones for growth. By stopping hormone production through the use of drugs, Prostate Cancer is essentially frozen in it’s tracks for a period of time. Unfortunately, the drugs only last for a couple of years or so before they lose their effectiveness.
Anyhow, here is the Bible on Prostate Cancer by Patrick Walsh from Johns Hopkins. Imus mentioned him on the show on Monday. Walsh is THE MAN on this as is Johns Hopkins.
Treasury officials explicitly allowed AIG bonuses
Brendan Hoffman / Bloomberg News
Sen. Christopher J. Dodd said in a televised interview: “I don’t believe anyone had any idea, I certainly didn’t, that a month-and-a-half later from February, we would be sitting here talking about AIG and the bonuses that they are receiving for their retentions.”
Executives could get up to 3.5 times their base salary without approval, records of a $40-billion November deal show. It also let the firm set aside as much money for 2008 bonuses as it did in 2006.

Thanks for the heads up on Patrick Walsh’s book. I’m interested in reading up on the “Gleason Score and Staging”.
The Witch Doctors I am dealing with need to feed me some more info.
Alas, they think I’m a mushroom, and keep me in the dark and feed me bullshit. 😉
Donald, this would be worth getting from Johns Hopkins for anyone who thinks/knows they have an issue. Just found it.

“… the trading pattern that emerges from 2008 SEC data shows naked shorts contributed to the fall of both Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns Cos., which was acquired by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in May.
“Abusive short selling amounts to gasoline on the fire for distressed stocks and distressed markets,” said U.S. Senator Ted Kaufman, a Delaware Democrat and one of the sponsors of a bill that would make the SEC restore the up tick rule. The regulation required traders to wait for a price increase in the stock they wanted to bet against; it prevented so-called bear raids, in which successive short sales forced prices down. ”
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aB1jlqmFOTCA&refer=home
Looks as though some are moving towards restoring the “up tick rule”.
Now, let’s get the “other two problems” you addressed…addressed. 😉
