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!

Turn The LeVeque Tower BLUE in September for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month!

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and one of my goals is to have The LeVeque Tower turned BLUE in support of Prostate Cancer Awareness. Every family has been touched by Prostate Cancer either from a Family member, Friend, Co-worker. Sometimes a complete stranger standing in a line somewhere!

1 in 6 Men and 1 in 3 African American Men will receive the devastating news of Prostate Cancer in their life time. Many will lose their battle to early! Over 9,000 Ohio men will be given this horrible diagnosis. My husband at the age of 56 is one of those 9,000! Prostate Cancer is not an Old Man’s disease if it was then there would not be so many men being diagnosed at an early age.

Getting people to talk about Prostate Cancer is Key in winning this battle of this horrible disease. Having The LeVeque Tower showing their support for Prostate Cancer Awareness is so important and getting others to ask a very important question.

Why is The LeVeque Tower BLUE? 

Why the Walnut?

Radiation Oncology

My husband just finished 7 weeks of Radiation Treatments for Prostate Cancer at The Zangmeister Cancer Center. They loved Petey so now they will have their very own!

People ask why the Walnut? 

The prostate is the size of a walnut it is also my way of raising awareness to prostate cancer. 

OH....

For a very SPECIAL Ohio State Mom!

The Ohio Statehouse

Today we attended the Ohio House of Representative Committee Meeting for SCR 10.

First Petey had to stop at the cafeteria for a French Vanilla Cappuccino. During the Committee Meeting House of Representative Bishoff had two of her Petey's sitting in front of her.

 I love seeing Petey being shared by others and to know how my creativity had made such an impact on others!
