Prostate Cancer Survival Varies By Season

Men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the summer and fall have a better chance of survival than those diagnosed in the spring and winter, a new study of Norwegian men suggests.

I wonder if they factored in the dispair and general suicidal feeling that winter’s mere existence tends to cause.  Radiation was bad enough without having to dig the car out from under a snowdrift every morning.  For the record, I was diagnosed in July.

Since the study was done with Norwegians, I assume they had an actual winter for use in the study, but I wonder what the results would be if they used some of us winterless folk as a control group.  Perhaps the study is not proof the curative powers of Vitamin D and the related sunshine as hinted by the “scientists”, but proof that candy canes and animated snowmen kill. What would Prosty the Spokesgland say if he know his relative (at least by name) Frosty was actually an evil harbinger of death?
