I found it very difficult to tell people face to face I had prostate cancer. I expected I'd receive comfort from those who I told. That wasn't what happened. Looking back I think hearing the news scared them in the same way I was scared when I first heard the news. I'm offering everyone a free chapter from my book: I Left My Prostate in San Francisco Where's Yours? Title of the chapter is "Sharing The News" Here's a link to read that chapter: www.whereisyourprostate.com/Final_Chapter6.pdfIf you found this chapter useful, the book I Left My Prostate in San Francisco-Where's Yours? is packed with information you'll find useful. If you've been diagnosed with prostate cancer check out my WebsiteHere's a thread where you can ask questions about, or share your experiences about breaking the news to family and friends.

Prostate cancer was a kick in the gut. I never thought I would have, nor wanted this, but refused to cower to it. I told my family and friends and moved on. All you can do is to face it, and fight it head on. I chose to have a robotic radical prostatectomy, but that's what I thought was best. Other chose pellets or radiation. What I refused to do was to allow this cancer to rule my life.
Now, over two years later, I have a few problems as a result of my choices. But I have life and I am cancer free, so I am thankful.
