Many may not know that i was diagnosed with prostate cancer last May. I went through faire season keeping it mainly to myself and dealing while on medication until last October when I went in for my Brachetherapy radioactive implants. This has now been 7 months since treatment and just over a year in total. As of two weeks ago, Friday May 2nd, after another battery of tests at Marshfield Clinic, I have been prognosed as Cancer Free. HUZZAH!!! Believe me there has been lots of emotion as well as good and bad days in and out of the hospital from some sickness. But, I am feeling well and ready for this faire season with a vengance.

Huzzah, Sir Clisto.  Congratualtions on surviving the cancer battle.

My dad chose surgery to battle his prostate cancer almost ten years ago, and he, too is cancer free!
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Why you have  truly  been blessed . I `am so glad that the cancer is gone. My prayers are for you to  be free forever from this .  You should help as many as you can by telling them how you coped and handled all that you had to go thru. It will give others the courage to do the same.It is so nice to hear the good  come out of the bad. Once again congrats this most wounderful news.

I have been doing that all along. I have 2 other people going through some form now and we are always communicating. It really helped me. And, if I can help others thats a blessing.

Thanks again to everyone for all your heartfelt words.
