Today I start medication - Proscar. One of the possible side effects is additional body hair, and I am hopeful it will target that thinning spot on the back of my head!
Now that the second opinion is here, I have told the kids. I'm not worried, and neither should they be. I have consulted with my closest friends, family, and both my doctors regarding this blog. All have been supportive. In fact, Jerry said that many men are devastated when faced with the diagnosis. I guess the fact that I have been informed for years makes this easier for me to face. I'm not dealing with it alone - I have a wonderful support team of family, friends, and doctors. In fact, Dave told me today that guys with prostate cancer golf better - I can't wait to take his skins money! I will continue to blog on my progress. Feel free to comment, ask questions, etc. I'll do the best I can to reply.

Recently I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. We have caught this cancer in it's early stages, and I face the road ahead with optimism. I am writing this blog to share my experiences with others in the hope that it will spur others to get a checkup, and to take some of the mystery out of the road to recovery.
