The broadcaster Don Imus said he had prostate cancer, the Web site of the New York television station WCBS (wcbstv.com) reported. Mr. Imus, 68, right, made the remarks during the Monday broadcast of his syndicated radio program “Imus in the Morning,” which in New York is on WABC-AM. He said he had Stage 2 prostate cancer, giving no further details of his prognosis, but added he was confident his doctors would beat it. According to FoxNews.com, Mr. Imus said on the air that the cancer could be a result of stress. Discussing his reaction to the diagnosis, Mr. Imus said: “The day you find out is fine. But the next morning when you get up, your knees are shaking. I didn’t think I could make it to work.”

1. this just makes me think, unfortunately, that it will be a long time

before we cure cancer. The seeds of it are so complex. I listened to Imus for years. His house was green. He ate
organic. He exercised. He didn't drink. He quit smoking.

2. I read somewhere else that he blamed stress.
