thanks for sharing that I'm very glad you did because without the support of this forum and advice from you and others I don't think I would be doing as well I am. I'm an introvert and haven't really shared my diagnosis with anyone. No one at work knows and I don't think I'm ever going to tell anyone I know outside of work. My therapist knows and he's super helpful but I feel better about my situation posting on this forum and sharing our experiences fighting this disease head on. I'm glad you were able to share your experience with your friend. It's scary as hell having this. Your post made my day. Thank you for sharing and If I could give you a hug I would. 🙂

When they did the Spotlight on me I cited the biggest benefit I found on MCC was an introvert and found that I could speak out and talk on MCC. This allowed me to open up and discuss things I would never talk to friends or family about.
My wife has serious medical problems and I really tried hard not to add to her stress by adding mine to hers. I had many questions and feedback I was able to get. I was surprised that the center I got my prostate radiation from asked me to be a ambassador. I agreed as the amount of information I was given and can get from UFHPTI is outstanding.
I am a patient of Mayo and they are outstanding. If they had proton radiation would have stayed with them. However I have not one negative comment on my treatment at UFHPTI they are outstanding and have been doing proton radiation on prostate cancer since 2006.
