For Tony Kornheiser to put the worst possible face upon Bob Dole's being courageous enough to speak out about one of the cruelest side effects of prostate cancer shows just how little Kornheiser knows of the pain and embarrassment of erectile dysfunction ["Down, Bob, Down," Style, Feb. 28]. Should we tell people with a limb amputated to shut up and quit whining? Or how about telling women with breast cancer we are tired of their constant grief over losing a breast?

Erectile dysfunction is a major loss to both the man who suffers from it and his wife. First, they have to expend every bit of energy they can summon to fight the cancer, and then they are left to face the loss of their sexuality.

Sure, Bob Dole is being paid to advertise Viagra by Pfizer, but does this in any way lessen the courage it takes him, or any other man for that matter, to come forward and talk about this secret but very common side effect of treating prostate cancer?
