  Guardian Angel Award Timothy Grode Oct 2007 My father in law honored me for urging him to see the doctor for hematuria. With his strong family history, it wasn't just a UTI (like everyone wanted to believe). It was prostate cancer that was caught early. He had a prostatectomy but no chemotherapy was needed.
