Two time cancer survivor here. Prostate was one of them. Had a combined total of four surgeries, five months of chemotherapy and two different radiation therapies. Early detection is the key.

I lost a colleague a few years back to breast cancer. Many might not know, but about 1% of breast cancer occurs in men. He found a lump, but he never got it checked out until it was too late. We men are often guilty of sticking our heads in the sand when ...
