Why write this?


It’s easy to begin. 47 years of age, very active, husband, father, third generation prostate cancer patient. I’m writing this because in my research you just do not find stories of people in their 40’s facing this journey. Everyone who is “young” are in their upper 50’s and early 60’s. Or if they are in their 40’s maybe they are private people and just want to get on with their lives. Since I have it, it means my brothers are five times more likely to get it that other men, and my two sons now have an increased chance.

I'm writing this because, the more you talk about it, the more you learn you are not alone, and you do not have to be alone. Everyone is an expert, am I right? So many doors have opened up during my experience so far.

I writing this as the patient. I am not an expert by any means. If there is one thing you get out of this blog, it's that you have options, explore those options, push the envelope in researching to determine what is truly best for you.
