Petey's Pins

Petey started collecting Prostate Cancer Awareness pins!

What if?

People has asked me what if someone makes walnuts like Petey and says that it was their creation. And that I can not longer make Petey.
I will never stop making Petey The Prostate Crusader aka Petey. They can take me to court and we will fight it out!
I created Petey in 2009 while sitting in a support group meeting a plain walnut was being passed around as the walnut is the size of a prostate. Well it had gotten t me and I started thinking add some eyes, hands and feet and so the next day I did just that. I have the original Petey that I made and since 2009 he has change in generation looks but he is still mine. If you have never had to deal with prostate issues you will not understand Why The Walnut! But those who have understand All To Well.
Petey has his own blog with a little help from Mom of course and posts his adventures and other important event in our lives. His blog ishttp://peteytheprostatecrusader.blogspot.com

Prostate Cancer Anonymous vs Awareness



Hi my name is Linda and I became a Prostate Cancer Caregiver 
June 19, 2009

I joined the club Prostate Cancer Anonymous but I myself don't want to stay Anonymous. It is time to change that Awareness! Usually women fight for breast cancer awareness but for me I fight for Prostate Cancer Awareness. Walk in my shoes and you will understand!

    Prostate Cancer words that are very seldom spoken in public!

    But for families living with prostate cancer we can speak about our Journeys. The Good, Bad and the Ugly!
    Statistics show that 1 in 6 men as with 1 in 3 African American men will be diagnosed in their lifetime. in 2013 about 238,590 new cases of prostate cancer was diagnosed, about 29,720 will lose their battle 1 in 36 men. Of the men who are 65 and older, 6 in 10 cases are diagnosed and it is rare before age 40.
     The average age of being diagnosed is 67. Not all men diagnosed with prostate cancer will die from it in fact 2.5 million men in the United State are still alive today!

    My husband Ray was diagnosed at 56 with an aggressive form of prostate cancer!
