#2 Treatment for the big C also comes with neuropathy and heart failure. No trade required.

#4 The jury is still out on statin risk reduction and heart problems. I've taken statins for a long time and I still got PC (diagnosed in 2006). A few months back, I elected to get off statins as they seemed to be causing muscle aches and neuropathy. I called my physician first to check to see what he thought. I will go for an annual physical in Feb. At that time, I will check my PSA and cholesterol levels at that time. The PSA has been in check after radiation in 2006. No indication of heart problems.
