“Q: After your prostate is removed because of cancer, what happens to you?

A: [he first discusses the surgery itself]…
Anyway, I can tell you that it made a big difference in my mental outlook.
I found that I thought with my emotions.
In my “normal” phase my thinking is a fairly dry, dispassionate affair. I cogitate, mull it over, think about whatever.
Under the influence of the hormone blocker, I was shocked at the difference. Every thought had an emotional response tied up with it somehow. It seemed to me that the emotion was the thought. It wasn’t so much that I got emotional about a thought I was having. The emotion and the thought were one and the same. No, more than that: the emotion was the more important part.
I didn’t like it.”
