I have been very open about my prostate cancer journey, both in conversation and in my articles for PC.net. Even now, 7 months after my surgery, when people ask how I'm doing I let them know I'm cancer free, but still recovering, dealing with the common side effects of surgery. This cancer really offers an opportunity to have meaningful conversations about the realities not just of having prostate cancer, but of the aging process and the changes that accompany it.
