My Prostate Cancer Path

Every prostate cancer patient has a story, and every story is different. This is a disease that affects one out of every seven Canadian men. Here is my story, with the hope it may help others who are travelling a similar road. Wayne Harrigan, Moncton, New Brunswick (wbharrig@nb.sympatico.ca). Wayne and Barb Harrigan are the co-ordinators of the PCCN Greater Moncton Prostate Cancer Support Group. Visit the Prostate Cancer Canada Network website at www.prostatecancer.ca.

30 April 2009 - Turning 65!

On purpose I scheduled my physical for my 65^th birthday. Dr. Carrier did the exam. Scheduled blood work/stool analysis. Her only concern was a small lump she detected on my prostate and she will refer me to Dr. Dwyer, a urologist, for an appointment. (My previous physical was done by Dr. Carrier on May 11, 2007. At that time, she did not detect any lump. PSA at that time was fine.)
