my son

So at my b-day party last night, after opening a few presents, I thanked everyone for their support during the past 2.5 yrs and my battle with cancer.

Then my son steps up and gives me a pin and tells the group he bought the survivor pin for me and pins with the word 'hope' for Kathy, Rachel and of course Bradley. His idea, his money.

What a great kid. I love him immensely and I'm so very proud of him.

Life if Good :)

Turned 50 today

What a great day! A flock of pink flamingos showed up in my front yard today wishing me a happy 'bird-day'...courtesy of my lovely bride.

50 and with my cancer in remission, life is good!

Make it a great day

Done with hormone treatment!

After 24 months of taking Lupron and Casodex as part of Hormone Therapy, I'm done!

FYI, hormone therapy is designed to cut off the food source of aggressive high risk prostate cancer, testosterone.
So over the past 2 yrs I've tolerated weight gain (20 lbs), hot flashes, mood swings.....yeah, almost turned me into a woman ;)

Big deal, great trade-off to kick cancer's ass and putting it into remission.

Huge thx to my Dr's and the support of my family.

Until next time, be well.

Steve Jobs dies at 56

Pancreatic cancer.... fkin cancer.

please sign the petition

I could use your support and so could every other man battling prostate cancer. In October, I bet you see football players wearing pink in honor of breast cancer awareness, which is great. Let's do something for men and prostate cancer awareness. You're just a few clicks away from signing a petition to 'light the white house blue' thanks
