News about my health – Econlib

In response to my last EconLog post, “Competition Works, Even in Healthcare,” dated August 17, 2024, a number of you responded or sent emails or Facebook messages expressing your concerns. I appreciate all of you who did that.
Yesterday I got some pretty good news. Subsequently, the biopsy had yielded twelve tissue samples. 10 showed no sign of cancer. 2 showed signs of cancer, but the Gleason score on each was 3 plus 3. That’s apparently what you hope for with a Gleason score. The Gleason score is, as you might guess, named after famous comedian Jackie Gleason. No, seriously, it’s named after Dr. Donald Gleason.
By the way, I don’t plan on making EconLog the place where I post about my health. I will only do that on my davidrhenderson Substack, “I Blog to Differ” and/or on my Facebook page. The only reason I mentioned my health in my Sunday post was to tell my race story. So the only posts in the future where I talk about my health on EconLog will be posts that have an economic component.
Thanks again for all the good wishes.
