And I can tell you that both of those numbers are way the hell off anyhow. England currently reports a 74.4 survivability rate. But the numbers are really much grimmer for the US; and england because the real number is that only 32% survive past 5 years. (I have an oncologist that lives next door.) That is more like a 78% mortality rate. And the numbers for 10 years are 7%. Yet, all the doctors and literature say it is 99% survivable; however, they are really talking about a first year survivability rate. So statistically speaking Rudy would die while in office; or shortly after leaving office; provided he were to win the election. So I think he is trying to sell the stupid A mericans on how it is ok to elect him to office because he is 'cured.' That is a load of rubbish thought. To find out what the real survivability rate of prostate cancer is - hop on over to http://www.prostatecalculator.org/ and enter your data...
