![]() ![]() My fears were confirmed in subsequent conversations with a radiation oncologist and urologist. My body had already been mutilated by prostate surgery and radiation, and my sex drive was only beginning, over the previous three years, to return to normal.

Since my prostate had been surgically removed and the area treated with localized radiation more than five years earlier, all traces of a substance produced only in the membranes of prostate and specific cancer cells had literally disappeared. My urologist's secretary had just given me the results of a routine follow-up test for prostate cancer. ![]() ![]() The owners did not plan on talking about Uggie's death until more time had passed, but the news had already been leaked to TMZ.
