I guess its not a big secret...

At 36 years old I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. This was six days after I buried my 59 year old father who died from it. His dad was 40 when he died from it.

One week before my 37th birthday I hard extensive surgery to remove my prostate and lower portion of my bladder. The surgery was a technical failure, because the cancer had spread however they only left "margins".

As of last Thursday I am still in clinical remission. July 7th will make 3 years.

My wife also has severe endometriosis (and fibromyalgia). We tried to get pregnant well before the cancer, but her system couldn't handle a pregnancy.

These were strong contributing factors in our decision to "go organic" and move out into clean air with plenty of exercise.
