This week was significant in the prostate cancer world. An announcement was made here by Mike Scott that 8 major advocacy groups are teaming their efforts together. This is a result of those studies I talked about in my last blogsite post. Strangely, two very flawed reports resulted in a unity that has been sorely missed in prostate cancer groups.

In two years my life has changed so drastically I would need a book to describe this experience. I will note some of the markers as I wr… Continue
