Hi, everyone,
My doctor today gave me the path report from last week’s surgery, and I have enough information to now talk about my medical problem. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer several weeks ago, and had a radical prostatectomy last week. Jerry Brown, John Kerry, and Colin Powell also have prostate cancer and appear to be doing well.
I am doing much better than just a few days ago, and I am hoping that the surgery will be a cure. With prostate cancer, there is a high recurrence rate, but the cancer grows slowly so even if it comes back, I expect to live many more years. In fact, many men contract prostate cancer and never know it, and pass away from other causes.
Thank you for your patience and support.
Al
Hi Al, please get well soon.

Dear Al
I pray & hope that you make a speedy full recovery.
Thank you for all your trading guidance & teachings. I am grateful that you are so dedicated & committed & so unselfishly willing to share your experience & knowledge. Take good care of yourself.
Best wishes
Al,
Even we have not met yet, you are like a mentor to me. I am shocked to hear this news. Please get some rest and do not worry about anything. You have been working so hard for so many years. You need a long vacation. I hope you will get well soon.
Carol
I wish you all the best and rapid recovery.
The prognosis for Prostate ca is good. Mean survival rate of 99% after 5y.

Al,
your continued dedication to teaching and all your hard work for our benefit,while you are recovering and in some pain, has been very inspiring to me and a lesson in what is achievable with willpower and good intentions,not just in trading but in any pursuit. Many thanks, and I hope you feel well again soon.
Dear Al,
My father has had the same surgery. He is doing fine. I think you will do fine as well. He is now 82 years and still going strong !.
I often think about life and the significance that one has in it. One of the things that pops up is the issue of making a contribution to the lives of others (I have two young children[boys] 8 years & 6 years). You have made the ultimate contribution to the lives of others by sharing your knowledge with others so that they may trade and when they trade they have better lives as a result. You have a better life because you can afford the goods and services that are required in your life. You can also give and share some of these goods and services to others in your life. You have contributed to my life with your knowledge that you have shared and with this knowledge that you have shared I have learned quite a lot. The significant thing is is that it is really possible and realistic to trade for a living. I have that goal. I now have a way thanks to you to secure my family’s future. Thank you for the contribution to my life and to others. I think we need to say thank you to you and always keep in mind this contribution.
Al I bid you God’s speed. Some things that pop into my head at this moment are: “If thou canst believe that all things are possible to him that believeth” Mark 9:23; “For with God nothing shall be impossible” Luke 1:37 and “According to your faith be it unto to you” Matthew 9:29.
I am looking forward to new and interesting insights in the future from you Al !.
Al, wish you strong Siberian health !
Al, very best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. Your work has been an invaluable resource and inspiration for me.
Al, take care! Best wishes for a speedy and successful recovery. I hope you are now on the road to better health.
John
Many best wishes to you Al for a speedy and full recovery – continued thanks for all your work.
Al,
I had the same procedure late 2014, and I am cancer free. Good luck to you and a speedy recovery. I want to thank you for making the Price Action education, books,videos,and online messages so available and so reasonable in cost. You could charge many times what you do, and you don’t. Your character and integrity are a source of inspiration to your followers. Thank you.
Al, best wishes for a full, speedy recovery
Saddened by the new of your cancer but thrilled by the news of your successful surgery. Best wishes on your continued recovery, continual good health and your many many years ahead.
Al, may the Lord give you the strength to fight this battle, my prayers are with you.

Al,
I guess this is the only time we can give back to you after you have given us so much an so generously.
You are in my thoughts and prayers ( and I think I speak for the rest of the community).
To your good health and speedy recovery
We wish Al well, have a speedy recovery..
Al, best wishes for a full, speedy recovery and many happy years of trading to come!
Al,
Blessings to you as you recover. Like so many things in life: time, patience and perspective can make all of the difference. Thank you for all that you do. Some people hope to make change in the world. Some people DO.
I wish you the best and good health in the future. Maybe you have the
possibility to read `monkey wisdom`of Mirsakarim Norbekov, the capter
about the “Octave” exercise. Check your working and sleeping place for fault zones
(divine rod).
My best wishes!
My best wishes for a speedy recovery, Al. I can only sense how traumatic this must have been.
Some people say: “We don’t believe in prayer, we count on it”
Laszlo also joins in wishing you a long and vigorous life, Teacher, we need you, you’ve still got a lot of music left in you.
Wishing you well, Doc.
My heart is in prayers for you.

Instead of a positive trader’s equation it sounds like you have a positive cancer survivor’s equation. Great news and many more enjoyable years.
I just learned of this today but I’m so happy all seems well.
Al, you’ve been the hardest working guy on the charts in my past 8 years of following you.
get well soon and we look forward to seeing you back at the helm.

Thanks Al for your devotion to your students while “under the weather”. You always go above and beyond in everything you do and we appreciate your dedicated efforts. Good luck with your recovery.
Al,
best wishes for a full recovery and many fruitful years to come!
You are the most honest trading consultant I have come across. Generally they are never transparent to the extent you are, likely because they make most of their income from consulting rather than trading. I really respect you as a trader, because you are so transparent and because what you say truly makes sense!
Al, thank you for sharing. I have no dought you will have a speedy, full recovery. Remember you ‘ve got your mom’s gene!!!
Al, Best wishes for quick recovery…
Al,
I pray for your full recovery and being with us for a very long time to come.
I thank you.
Wishing you a swift recovery Al.
My father was treated for prostate cancer in 2005 and made a full recovery. He is now a fighting fit 80 year old, regularly playing golf and always on the go. Stay strong and thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us, we can never repay you enough.
Al – best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Hi Al, I/m praying for a full recovery. Be well!

Hi Fabrizio arte you italian ?
Ciao Dario. Si.
Che bello finalmente qualcuno della mia terra 🙂
In effetti è molto difficile trovare qualcuno delle nostre parti qui. Ma come insegnano i latini …audentes fortuna iuvant…
Al,
I happened to be in Indian Wells watching the BNP Paribas a few weeks ago and it made me think about you. Hoping you can continue to enjoy the things you love for many more years. Be well:)
Duane

Al – may you have a rapid recovery and are able to resume your active life style ASAP
without constraints. Thanks for the information – life sometimes throws us curve balls, but they pass – time heals – the bumps in the road never last.
Thanks for your persistence during this trying time.
All the very best
Ron Carlson
Just wishing Al a fast and complete recovery. Al is one of those people who love to teach and cares more about helping others than making money. He could sell his course and daily updates for thousands (like some guys do who ironically have inferior knowledge compared to Al. Very rare in this day and age to be able to learn from someone like Al and for that I’m extremely grateful. Prayers and thoughts are with you!
I wish you a full and speedy recovery. Thank you for all of your help.
Al, Be well!
Thinking of you Al! Wishing you all the best and a speedy recover
Kathy
Al,

Please take care of yourself and take whatever time off you need. The markets will be here when you are ready to return.
Your daughter is a credit to you, you must be so proud.

All the best for a speedy recovery Al.
Thanks for sharing – Prayers for you and a speedy recovery!
Al, I’m sure that there is a lot of us who prayed for you when we found that you got health problems, and we were all worried. And I know for a fact when many people ask in they prayer for help to someone significant in their life, from the bottom of their heart, their prayers would be answered! My father went trough same operation 14 years ago and doing well in his 80. Many thanks for your exceptional hard work that transforming our life!
Al, thank you for sharing this information with us. The unknown is always the worst. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I hope your recovery is speedy and you don’t have to deal with it again, ever!
Hands down, Al provides the very best BS-free approach to the markets. He really, really understands how to trade successfully. No silly gimmicks, just solid price action. I belong to a trading group and we all have Al’s books and video course and we study them and discuss them, and work at continually improving our trading skills based on his work. It’s the real deal! Speedy recovery, Al.
Best wishes for quick recovery
Best wishes Al. Kind regards
All the best for a full recovery; try to take it easy in the mean time.
All the best for a speedy recovery Al.
Al, I want to send you best wishes for your quick recovery and good health.
Hi Al,
Please know that you are in my prayers. I know what you are going through as I also underwent a radical prostatectomy in June 2015. Life will return to normal day by day. Stay encouraged.
I would like to wish Al all the very best for a full recovery, a long, enjoyable and productive life.
From a trading perspective Al is simply the most honest, hardworking and transparent person I have come across.
Studying and learning Al’s methodology for a while now has turned me from an erratic trader in to one who is consistently profitable. I am indebted to Al for what he has shared.
Al, best wishes for a full recovery.
Comments are open on this temporary post if anyone wishes to comment, but note that Al needs time to recuperate so please do not expect Al to drop in and chat here. Al is extremely busy as most know, and needs some space, along with our patience and support as noted.
On behalf of all of us, here’s wishing Al a speedy and full recovery. Al is one helluva guy – an honest and real treasure in our trading world.
