We asked a number of thoughtful people to read a pre-publication copy of our book and give us some feedback. We are incredibly fortunate to have the counsel of Dan Zenka. After looking at the book, Dan posted the following on his blog and allowed us to re-publish his thoughts here to share them with you.
Dan Zenka is senior vice president of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, the world’s leading private supporter of research for a cure. Two years after joining PCF, Dan was diagnosed with his own case of prostate cancer. Following a radical prostatectomy, it was determined that he had metastatic disease. He has undergone seven weeks of radiation therapy and is currently on two to three years of hormone deprivation therapy. Just days after his diagnosis, Dan started his own cancer blog, www.mynewyorkminute.org where he discusses a range of issues related to navigating prostate cancer and is read by a growing audience of men and their caretakers around the world. What follows are Dan's words:
Despite the prospect of receiving one of the latest new drugs that might extend survivorship, a lack of understanding and access, among other issues, leave many saying “I’ll pass.”
