When Bob fund out that he had prostate cancer, he already had two unsuccessful campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination. At first, he assumed that his condition would fail the third try becaue American had never elect a president who have any kind of disease, therefore he tried very hard to defeat the cancer.During the PSA blood test, his PSA levels were all held steady at zero. Luckily he found out about his cancer early, the doctor was able to remove the tumor since it did not spread through the body. Other political leader such as France's Fancois Mitterrand and Jordan's King Hussein also suffered from prostate cancer. 16 months after his surgery he met many cancer survivors and they talked to each other. Bob Dole said "Uness we talk to each other fairly frankly we don't learn much in these sessions. Some of the things that we read about don't return as quickly as advertised."
