The Accidental Survivor
I am an Accidental prostate cancer survivor, radical prostatectomy, class of 2003. This blog chronicles my prostate cancer journey into the post-five year survival period and my personal thoughts about how men and the medical community are responding to the prostate cancer challenge. Please join me in this journey. I would very much appreciate your comments on my reflections.
