​​Philip Fretz just settled into a continuing care retirement community with his life partner when he was shocked to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. This is his account, in his own words, describing his reactions to the stages of his
medical treatment options, his experiences with multiple practitioners, and descriptions of the most modern imaging and radiological equipment. His realization of the immense worth of his relationships with relatives and friends came with their sincere support. This is one man’s journey to
conquer this disease, written in the hope that it may inform other men, their families and friends, of possible paths for themselves when confronted with a similar status.
