This really isn't a blog. It just seemed to be the best way to convey my journey with prostate cancer and to, hopefully, help out someone else who may be beginning their own journey with prostate cancer.
My trip really began about 6 years ago when my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 72. He had been religious about getting his prostate exams and we had both even had a few "father and son" outings as we would visit local hospitals who would offer free screenings from time-to-time. His father had prostate cancer and his brother had died from the disease many years earlier so he had good reason to be vigilant. I had good reason to be watchfull as well.
