  • In this video I talk about the emotional aspects of a cancer diagnosis leading up to treatment. I was not prepared for the sadness and anger that came after my own diagnosis and had to comes to terms with my emotions as I prepared for surgery.

    Thank you for sharing this... it is a struggle on not getting overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions.

    I get overwhelmed often. Just diagnosed. Really lost, but I know I have to do something at psa3.8 and Gleason 4+3. . Steep family history. You are a brave man. Thank you with all my heart. James- Vancouver Island

      If you have not heard of them. ZERO cancer is a nonprofit dedicated to prostate cancer support and advocacy. They even have a program to match patience with prostate cancer survivors. It can be helpful talking to others who have been where you are. Please check it out.
