Prostate cancer is very common, very survivable, and very easily treatable. It's a serious thing of course, but he's almost definitely gonna be fine

In the United States, we treat it very differently than in Europe. In Europe, it is more scented candles and holistic shit. In America, it’s aggressive treatments of surgery or chemotherapy.
Europe has a much better life expectancy with prostate cancer.

If he gets the scented candle treatment it'll be because he's well into "alternative medicine", not because that's standard practice here. He has a track record of promoting homeopathy in particular
