I'm sure you've all heard the expression, I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes until I saw the man who had no feet. I'ii tell you a real story. no sympathy please! Seven years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer Stupid me, i had surgery, radical prostectomy. There went most of my nerves that control erections, ect. I tried all the drugs,no avail. Let me add here, I also have emphysema.(end stage at last diagnoses)After 7 years my psa level rose to 13. Went to cancer center, they wanted me to take radiation therpy and harmone therpy. Second stupid me. The side effects are rugged to say the least. It brings out the angry, fustration, mental issues I didn't even know I had.Anyway they could never pinpoint the cancer, so they burned the prostate bed to a chrisp. So there went the rest of my sexual nerves. Ed big time. I got me some enjections (for those of you who dont know, I have to give myself a shot in the penis) now the injections work somewhat. When they cut out your prostate, they also cut out about an inch of your eurtha(cant spell). well guess what happens on the other end. One inch shorter. Anyway post exam after radiation. psa level 5.9. Still got cancer. Very aggressive I might add mastisized to the spine. 2 years to live tops. emphysema may take me any time. So I wish i would never gone through any of this. I may have been dead by now, but I dont wont to live to just exist.

I guess it`s true that life is not measured by the amount of time you have to live, but by how you live the amount of time you have.
You are a very strong man. May God bless you and bring you happiness for the years you have left, of which I hope are many.
