Man takes wait and see approach to prostate cancer

Submitted by Vivien Leigh on Friday, June 14th, 6:49 pm

BRUNSWICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It's a cancer that affects one in six men in this country and sometimes the best option is to do nothing.

Michael Mahan was diagnosed with prostate cancer three years ago. Because Mahan's cancer was caught so early, doctors said he was a good candidate for active surveillance. It's a plan where the patient and the doctor closely monitor the disease for any changes.

Mahan chose not to do any medical treatment because surgery and radiation can can cause serious side effects, including urinary problems. Three years later Mahan's cancer hasn't spread.

'It's not like you ignore it. You are getting blood tests couple of times a year. You are getting an exam, I've had two biopsies. I will get another one in July, if that shows no change in the cancer I probably won't have another one in July, if that shows no change in the cancer I probably won't have another for five years,' said Mahan.

Dog shot with BB's 80-100 times is recovering

Submitted by Max Cole on Thursday, June 13th, 5:24 pm

EDGECOMB, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A dog who was shot with BB's between 80 and 100 times has a new owner and is now on the road to recovery.

Lady, a Black Lab, was found walking on the side of the road last week in Waldoboro, and was taken to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter.

When workers at the shelter were doing a routine examination, they discovered the BB's all over Lady's body. X-rays showed Lady was shot in the face, stomach, and back.

It is unknown who the previous owner was, and Waldoboro police are investigating the case as an animal cruelty case.

Peter Blanton happened to stop by the Lincoln County Animal Shelter in Edgecomb last week looking to adopt a new dog, and that's when he first met Lady.

"I was late that day, and I wasn't supposed to be able to get in [the shelter], but the staff stayed late," Blanton said. "They showed me this dog, and it was sort of like love at first sight."
