`Not a dam thing. It is a unwanted invader.


Just understand I'm a quite man and hold to much inside. Drives my wife crazy


Try and hold your head high and remember you didn't ask for this crappy stuff.


Look at all your options and talk with everyone who has any good idea’s about fighting this hiding cowardly cancer. They have many new advances and procedures. Prostate cancer is usually a slow moving type of cancer. So weight all you treatment’s and learn all you can about what your fighting. Then make the decision based on your studies.

What I'm I complaining about?

Hi everyone
It’s been a while sense I have posted anything, Sort of been in a limbo state for the last six month,
Now I’m trying to get my head set and life schedule in order for my 40 radiation trips to finally or maybe kill this invader in my body. I have an 80 percent chance of finally destroying this creepy and sneaky bastard! I’m apprehensive and a little bit worried about the repercussions and after effects of so much radiation and holding myself to such a regiment. Realistically I don’t do well with demand and schedules. Well this time I have really no choice and a wonderful and loving Wife and family that love me unconditionally and want me around for them. I think family support and attitude are the most important things to recovery and keeping a positive approach to facing cancer ugly face. I sometime wish it would just face be man to man and we could fight to the death. At least then if I lose I gave it my best shot. But as we all no here cancers a coward! Maybe in a way this radiation and caring doctor’s with great family support show’s this cowardly cancer its day’s are numbered. I think men have trouble relating there inter feeling. It’s so hard for are families and especially are spouses who live this nightmare everyday with us. There courage is amazing and so needed. I just can’t say enough about my wife and her caring attitude. She’s strong for me yet it’s really tearing her apart inside. So She is my hero in life. So what I’m I complaining about? Hell this is a piece of cake. Ok. Ok bring it on. I’m the kind of guy that has never run from a fight and my wife married that man so it’s time he returned.
Thanks to this rant I’m ready for my next adventure in this battle.
Thanks for listening
Ed

Valerie sent you a hug.

Always here to listen, Ed. You’ll do well with radiation because you’re out to kick cancer’s ass! Thoughts and wishes are with you, and I’m here if you need me. Brother Bill

My wife is a rock and your my other rock. How can I go wrong. Thanks My Brother in Arms.

Hugs to you, your wife and your “network.” Wanting to be around for our family is a big motivator.
I will send extra prayers up for you during your rad treatments. And, for your wife and family. Hang in there!

How are you doing my friend? This cancer stuff seems to be never ending like a long bumpy old dirt road. Everytime you make a forward movement and gain some confidents you have a headwind pushing you back.
I will continue this endevor that I never asked for until it or I reach the finish line.
Ed
