Mark's Prostate Cancer Experience
Prostate Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in men, responsible for about 1 in every 44 deaths. But, it's one of the few cancers that is completely curable. Mark was 51 years old when diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015. Now, almost a decade later he is online to tell his story of how he was diagnosed, and what other men should expect on their path to being cured of this disease. He talks about how he learned about his cancer, the surgery that saved his life, and how he manages with side effects such as incontinence and erectile disfunction. The good news is that he beat all the odds, and lives to tell others of what they can expect.
