Why Warren Buffett Revealed He Has Prostate Cancer
By Diane Brady on April 17, 2012
Despite his folksy manner, Warren Buffett is not a man who
likes to share intimate details of his life. So that makes his April 17
announcement that he has early-stage prostate cancer all the more
intriguing. After all, as the chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/B)
stated, his doctors say the condition is “not remotely life-threatening
or even debilitating in any meaningful way.” In fact, he stressed in
the release, “I feel great—as if I were in my normal excellent
health—and my energy level is 100 percent.” He has a point: By the age
of 80, about 80 percent of men have some cancer cells in their prostate
gland, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. If Buffett is like most men his age, he’s more likely to die with prostate cancer than from it.
