巴菲特致信称患前列腺癌 病情远不危及生命

　　北京时间4月18日上午消息，股神巴菲特周三确诊患前列腺癌，以下为巴菲特致伯克希尔-哈撒韦股东信。

　　伯克希尔-哈撒韦股东：

　　本信是告知各位我已被诊断患一期前列腺癌症。好消息是医生告知我的病情远不危及生命，甚至不会显著影响身体机能。上周三我接受了诊断，周四做了CAT扫描和骨扫描，本周三做了核磁共振。这些检查均未显示身体其余部分患癌。

　　医生和我本人决定，从7月中旬开始进行为期两个月的每日放疗。在此期间我的出行将受到限制，但日常工作不会发生变化。

　　我感觉良好——仿佛处于正常的良好健康状态中——我的精力十分充沛。我发现自己患癌，是因为前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平近来大超正常水平，活检似乎得到确认。

　　要是病情发生变化，我将立刻通知各位股东。当然，最终那一天将到来，但我相信离那一天还很远。

　　FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 17， 2012

　　Omaha， NE (BRK.A； BRK.B) –

　　To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway:

　　This is to let you know that I have been diagnosed with stage I prostate cancer. The good news is that Ive been told by my doctors that my condition is not remotely lifethreatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way. I received my diagnosis last Wednesday. I then had a CAT scan and a bone scan on Thursday， followed by an MRI today. These tests showed no incidence of cancer elsewhere in my body.

　　My doctors and I have decided on a two-month treatment of daily radiation to begin in mid-July. This regimen will restrict my travel during that period， but will not otherwise change my daily routine.

　　I feel great – as if I were in my normal excellent health – and my energy level is 100 percent. I discovered the cancer because my PSA level (an indicator my doctors had regularly checked for many years) recently jumped beyond its normal elevation and a biopsy seemed warranted.

　　I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually，of course， it will； but I believe that day is a long way off.

　　Warren E. Buffett
