Dan's Journey through Prostate Cancer 
Fantastic photographs. Thank you for posting them. I am also going thru the journey. I had a Robotic Radical Prostatectomy in February 20, 2017 doing fine. A few bumps along the way but inproving everyday. Last PSA begining of October 2017 was undetectable. I am also a photographer and have been out shooting as much as possible. A wonderful distraction. Keep on shooting. Chip Paris
