Cortland, Ohio 2021

 

 Ray was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer on June 19, 2009! Currently he is a big Loser. Big fat ZERO!!! Before you get upset on my comment of him being s loser. It’s a good thing. A zero PSA is what we want!  It means he is still in remission 12 years later! I will not say cancer free as this disease can rear it ugly head at any time. So my comfort words are remission or NED (No Evidence of Disease)!

 Before you drop that next quarter! Take the time and visit your doctor for a PSA test. Your life might depend on it and your loved ones will Thank You!

On August 16, 2021, Linda Hoetger emailed the Commissioners asking for their support.  From Linda: My Name is Linda Hoetger, I am asking for your support for the 9,010 men impacted by prostate cancer and their families just like mine. Some who live in your community and are not ready to speak up yet and share their journey. I ask for your support yearly so that one day we can be part of a cure and zero out prostate cancer. This is also a way to educate the citizens in the community with a Proclamation, message board announcements, newsletter announcements. I have become and active advocate and helping men and their families along the way. The nation recognizes Prostate Cancer Awareness and Education Month in September.

 Education regarding prostate cancer and early detection strategies is critical to saving lives, preserving, and protecting our families. The economic and social hardship it has on the families is huge; Prostate cancer is estimated to cost over $8 billion in direct medical expenditures.

June 19, 2009, Ray was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer at 56. I was 45 at the time and did not know what prostate cancer was. You never heard anyone talk about it anywhere. But on this day I quickly learned what it was. One thing for sure I was not going to sit back and do nothing. I started advocating for awareness and education and continue to do this 12 years later! I hope to one day say…I helped make a difference in someone else’s life.

Having Ohio to be the first in the nation to have ZERO The End Of Prostate Cancer logo plates was a dream. On August 31, 2021 it became a reality! 💙💙
