I'm so sorry to hear about your health struggles however covering his sentencing is not nearly as important as you very own health. Please don't worry about things like that and just take care of yourself Best wishes. Laura

From my own experience it’s very beatable. Sending you healing energy.

This was a hard one to read, Tony. Your attitude in dealing with things that shouldn't be has been admirable and rewarding: for you, and for us. As a breast cancer survivor (5 times!) what's helped me most is research and the willingness to trust my gut, and it seems you've got those qualities — in spades. It's a trip, but it can have some unexpected silver linings. My best to you through your journey.

So sorry to read your news. You’re a fighter in every sense of the word. Sending you virtual emotional support for your cancer battle.

Be well and beat that cancer down like the disease deserves. I am certain that Jeff Augistine or someone else can cover the sentencing of Masterson. As for your daily bunker news, put a few stories on the 'hook' and have Scott post them as needed. Prostate cancer is very 'beatable' and just follow your doctors instructions. And if a few days or weeks stories, don't come, so be it.

Thank you, Tony for sharing this news for us. So thankful they caught this early, I am confident you will be fine! I have had many family and friends with prostate cancer who have led long lives after diagnosis because they caught it early. Take care of yourself first and we will all be praying for a speedy recovery!!

Keep us posted with your progress, you will be in my thoughts!

Speedy Recovery Tony. We need you back on the “beat” but well and rested first and foremost.

I am so glad you only report on Scientology, instead of being in Scientology, as it allowed you to catch this early and trust doctors in the years since. I hope the treatments work well and you have a quick and smooth recovery!

Get well soon, Tony! Looking forward to loads more of your brilliant coverage.

Also from experience--treatments today are incredibly effective, amazing, really, but the most important thing is a confident “I got this thing beat” attitude. Best wishes for your comfort and a speedy recovery.
