For about 20 years I monitored my PSA and figured that I would have to deal with prostate issues the rest of my life. But I wasn't expecting to hear that I had Stage IV Metastatic Prostate Cancer in June 2022. What followed next was beyond all my worst nightmares.

The toll on my wife and me was unimaginable. Read about it in this article she wrote for Cancer Today:

The treatments have caused more side effects than the early stages of my disease. It took more than a year to get used to the fatigue, lack of strength and libido and all those damn hot flashes. Then I discovered Wellness House.

All of a sudden, I learned that I wasn't the only guy dealing with prostate cancer. My group and private sessions with the Wellness House staff has improved my outlook, even as my disease progresses.

Wellness House provides complete cancer care - every step of the way. Whether you have cancer, or you are caring for a friend or family member who is diagnosed with cancer, all are welcome at Wellness House.

That's why I have joined the Walk and why I ask you to join me in giving what you can to support people in the fight for their lives.
