Happy Thanksgiving! One thing I’m thankful for is my husband being a survivor of prostate cancer 13 years later. Being the mom of four sons and two grandsons. One which is bi-racial and prostate cancer on both sides of his family. I never want those horrible words uttered to them. You have cancer! It’s a life changing event.
One thing that has gotten me through it was to be creative and make the Petey scene. It gets men and their families talking. And shows them they are not alone.
Last year we had a license plateBill pass for prostate cancer license plates. Currently there are 23 cars with the license plates. Four of them are mine. The license plates has raised $975 this year to assist with medications and treatments. We have to have at least 25 a year to keep them in production.
Hard to believe that when I was in school. I was quite and shy. Not anymore, just ask Capitol Hill.
We started going in 2012 to speak with Senators and Congress members. This was my first time ever going to Capitol Hill. We had 5 meetings on September 13, 2012 the first one was at 8:30am. Being blind in one eye my depth perception is off. At 8:15am I took a Spill on Capitol Hill and broke my leg. How important is it to speak about prostate cancer to me. I attended all five meetings with a broken leg.
I know you guys from our class is at that age that. You should be having a PSA test. It’s a simple blood test. Know your score ot may just save your life.
