Free For All Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Sad news. I've really enjoyed his work over the years. Quote
papsrus Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Oh shit. Fellas, get checked every year. I'm glad I did. I'm cured. And that's 100%. I'm sad to hear that for whatever reason, Hopper was not able to get the right treatment in time. He almost certainly could have if it was caught in time. Get freakin' checked out. Quote
jeffcrom Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Fellas, get checked every year. I'm glad I did. I'm cured. And that's 100%. This bit in this somber thread made my day. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 gettin' my PSAs checked tomorrow, as a matter of fact. Quote
thedwork Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2010/01/11/dennis-hopper-losing-battle-with-cancer/ definitely sad news. and i'm sending out my positive vibes right now! the only dvd of his in my collection is Easy Rider - Special Edition. the "making of" doc and the director commentary are both worth having. very personal and illuminating. Hopper! Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 and he's a strange one - promising young actor turned druggie turned good actor turned Republican. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 I had my blood drawn this morning for my annual PSA check. Since I have a family history, it's a no-brainer. I still hate the finger check. That's next week. I wish I had a doctor with smaller fingers. Quote
paul secor Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Sorry to read this about Dennis Hopper. Had blood drawn last week and am going for a physical today. Quote
Brad Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 That's a real shame. Should be a stop light to all men. Quote
medjuck Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Just came back from my urologist. He discovered a tiny bit of cancer three months ago -- just enough to want to monitor it regularly. This morning my PSA was really low and the finger probe seemed to indicate that my prostate was better than last time. So pretty good news. Paps: when you say you're cured do you mean you had cancer and new don't? If so what was your treatment? Quote

I'll PM you with the details, but both I and my doctors are extremely pleased with the results. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) So glad that surgery was a success james! Best of luck Dennis. You were brilliant in the "Crash" series! Edited January 13, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
