Happy 60th birthday

prostate cancer doiagnosis

My second PSA test for prostate cancer on my sixtieth birthday. “I’m sorry I have bad news” you have aggressive cancer and it’s outside the prostate. I’ve been a paramedic for over forty years. I thought I knew about cancer. But the old adage that you don’t know until you’ve been there. I believe that now.

Surviving after prostate cancer

It’s been almost two years now. Between the surgeries, radiation, and cancer medications I will spend the rest of my life healing. Physically and mentally. But I am alive!
